The concept of luminous characters is very broad. I wonder what kind of luminous characters you want to know. There are luminous characters displayed on computers, and luminous characters used to indicate promotional functions on door signs. Longxiang Luminous Let me explain the two methods of making luminous characters:
1. How to make luminous characters displayed on the computer:
Use photoshop software to make luminous characters:
1. Create a new file - 450×250, fill it with black, select the text tool to write 90pt white Chinese regular script, and then select the merge layer downwards in the layer.
2. Filter - Stylize - Lighten the edges. The degree is edge width 2. Edge brightness 1. Smoothness 1
3. Image-Adjustment-Auto Levels. Then select Filter-Distort-Polar Coordinates-Polar Coordinates to Plane.
4. Image - Rotate canvas - 90 degrees clockwise
5. Filter - Stylize - Wind - 2 times from the right
6. Image - Rotate the canvas - 90 degrees counterclockwise
7. Filter - Distort - Polar Coordinates - From Plane to Polar Coordinates
8. Image - Adjustment - Color Saturation - Coloring . Duplicate 5 layers, select each layer copy, and color each layer a different color (note: do not pull the "Brightness" slider when coloring different layers, just pull the other two as you like, otherwise the background color It will be changed)
9. Select Enter ImageReady in the toolbar. Click Create Frame from Layer in the upper right corner of the animation panel. Select the first frame and set the time to 0.2, and so on, change the time of each frame. Open the optimization in the window and set the format to GIF.
10. Save - just store the optimization results as
2. How to make the illuminated characters on the door head:
Here Longxiang luminous characters will explain based on years of experience: the characteristics, production methods and precautions of resin luminous characters, acrylic luminous characters, stainless steel luminous characters, and punched luminous characters.
1. Resin luminous characters: currently very popular luminous characters, especially Longxiang’s patented multi-layer three-dimensional color luminous character technology.
1. Features: Beautiful appearance, good texture, durability, and whole body luminescence. The character shell can be made into flat color registration, concave and convex color registration, multi-layer three-dimensional color registration, single color, colorful, full color lighting, colorful and dynamic fashion .
2. Production: (Design → write the typeface → stick it on the glass (template) → wax and polish → surround the frame with sponge bonding strips → use resin edge strips and aluminum solder edge strips according to the frame Surrounding → Pour the front side, after curing, reverse → Make the back side and Andon according to the shape)
3. Note: It is recommended to add a small amount of aluminum powder and glass fiber filaments to the resin to increase the resistance of the words. tearing ability, especially for large luminous letters above 2 meters for outdoor use, in which screw caps and other fasteners can be pre-embedded. Another process can be used, that is, spraying resin on everything after it is done. This method can effectively make up for the defects in the production of luminous characters and have excellent light transmission effect.
2. Acrylic luminous characters
1. Features: weather-resistant, durable, reasonable, impact-resistant, light-transmitting, flame-resistant, beautiful, energy-saving
2. Production: flat production (front engraving , the side is bent and formed, and the back cover is made of PVC sheet); blister word production (the material is made of acrylic board blister, which can be blistered into various sizes of graphic company logos and various fonts, LED lights, aluminum-plastic surrounds, acrylic Surrounding, film making - heating - automatic vacuum - cooling - stripping - trimming - slotting - trimming - bonding Letters and panels)
3. Maintenance: Generally, no special maintenance is required. Acrylic luminous letters can be used outdoors for a long time. The most important thing is cleaning. Advertising letters used outdoors will have signs on the fonts over time. A lot of dust can be cleaned, so for general dust treatment, you can use a feather duster or clean water to rinse, and then wipe with a soft cloth. If the surface is oily, use soft detergent and water and scrub with a soft cloth.
4. Note: The selection of abrasive tools should be based on the amount of word processing. Generally, economical and low-priced abrasive tool plates are selected as abrasive tool plates. This will effectively save costs.
It is very important to choose acrylic sheets with guaranteed quality from large manufacturers. Blister molding requires specialized and skilled workers to complete the operation
3. Stainless steel luminous characters
1. High-end, lighter, solemn, metallic, strong three-dimensional sense, many types, many forms, can be flexibly produced according to needs
2. Production, there are many types of stainless steel luminous characters. The production of stainless steel small hooked luminous characters has many similarities with the production of acrylic luminous characters. The side of the stainless steel is bent and formed by a bending machine. They are also composed of the front and side parts (laser or plasma cutting of the text. Cut into the basic font shape - trimming, and cut the edge thickness according to the thickness of the words - tin or argon welding the edge. Use tin or argon welding according to actual conditions ----- base plate welding - grinding and polishing - grinding and polishing - bonding of acrylic panels/blistering and buckling)
3 . Precautions during production include: When buckling, make sure the panel and buckling are bonded in place and flat. In order to ensure that there is no light leakage or water seepage, neutral silicone must be used to seal the contact between the panel and the buckle edge (this is also a simple, effective and low-cost waterproofing measure). Measuring the font spacing, positioning accurately, and sawing in place are key steps and an important step in determining the quality of the fonts. Especially for thick edge materials or many strokes at the corners, it is essential to ensure that the edges are The material is welded in place and the font stays in shape.
4. Punched luminous characters (exposed luminous characters)
1. Features: safe, long life, arbitrarily large, high luminous intensity, high luminous intensity
2. Production method: Use a metal plate to directly punch holes and insert the LED light source directly into the punched holes (design the hole spacing ---- punching ---- cutting ------ Word edge-----font surface treatment color-----installation of light source------test)
3. Note: Use argon according to the metal material and designed font size. Welding, tin welding, aluminum welding, etc. are used to weld and assemble the word edges and font surfaces. When drilling, first use a small drill bit for positioning drilling, and then use a large drill bit to enlarge the through hole.
