This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will establish the feasibility of a materials system to encase customized ceramic signage (and other lightscaping products) which utilize solid-state ceramic lamps as a backlight source. These systems should achieve extraordinary power efficiency by illuminating the information rather than the entire sign area and are intended for external operation over awide environmental range (e.g. extremes in temperature, humidity, acid rain, etc). The proposed encasement method uses special materials formulations applied through ultrasonic spray and CNC technologies to create custom ceramic surfaces. These surfaces display the information content in a backlit format while protecting the light emitting ceramic layer from the external operating environment.This system provides a semi-transparent, multi-colored outer ceramic layer exhibiting a combination of information display and artistic presentation features when backlit by a solid-state ceramic lamp. This technology can be applied to a wide variety of commercial signage and lightscaping applications.

这个小型企业创新研究(SBIR)第一阶段项目将建立一种材料系统的可行性，以封装使用固态陶瓷灯作为背光源的定制陶瓷标牌(和其他照明产品)。这些系统应该通过照明信息而不是整个标志区来实现非凡的功率效率，并且旨在用于在广泛的环境范围(例如极端温度、湿度、酸雨等)的外部操作。所提出的包扎方法使用通过超声波喷涂和数控技术应用的特殊材料配方来创建定制的陶瓷表面。这些表面以背光格式显示信息内容，同时保护发光陶瓷层不受外部操作环境的影响。该系统提供了半透明、多色外陶瓷层，当由固态陶瓷灯背光时，该外陶瓷层表现出信息显示和艺术呈现特征的组合。这项技术可应用于各种商业标牌和灯光美化应用。
