Abstract

See full text

Patterned light-blocking elements are prepared using a method having operations A) through F). Such method includes providing an ii) embossed and densified foamed opacifying layer on the back side of a i) fabric and a iii) non-foamed function composition on the ii) embossed and densified foamed opacifying layer. Embossing can be carried out using a specific i) fabric having a prefabricated visible relief pattern on its face side. During embossing and densification, this prefabricated visible relief pattern self-embosses the ii) embossed and densified foamed opacifying layer, thus providing a visible relief pattern in that layer that can be viewed from the face side of the patterned light-blocking element when appropriately backlit as a transmissive display in a darkened environment. Such elements can be used as window treatments as well as decorative fabrics in various environments.
