The present invention provides a method of displaying an image on a display device having first and second sides, said image including an light restricting silhouette pattern having a plurality of first transparent or translucent areas, and at least one design layer having at least one color, said at least one design layer being visible from one side of said display device and substantially less visible from the other side, said image being substantially transparent or translucent as viewed from the other side, comprising the steps: 1) providing at least a definition of said design layer to a computer; 2) generating a computerized version of said design layer with the computer; 3) outputting the computerized version of said design layer to said display device, the computerized version of said design layer being modified to subdivide said design layer into a plurality of second discrete transparent or translucent areas and other areas, and 4) displaying said modified design layer and said silhouette pattern with said first and second transparent areas being in registry. Articles produced in accordance with the method are also described. Printers, raster image processing methods and systems, computer graphics systems are described for producing the article.

What is claimed is: 1. An article having a conformable substrate and comprising a colorant receptor layer and a light restricting layer on said substrate, said light restricting layer having a plurality of first transparent or translucent areas and a plurality of light restricting areas and a design layer on the substrate, the design layer including at least one color layer, the design layer being subdivided into a plurality of second transparent or translucent areas, and the first and second transparent or translucent areas being in registry. 2. The article of claim 1 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 1. 3. The article of claim 1 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 2. 4. The article of claim 1 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 3. 5. The article of claim 1 wherein the transparent or translucent areas are optically clear. 6. The article of claim 1 wherein the colorant receptor is an ink-jet ink receptor. 7. The article of claim 1 wherein the colorant receptor is a non-porous hygroscopic layer. 8. The article of claim 1 comprising a hydrophilic, microporous, polymeric membrane. 9. The article of claim 1 wherein the colorant receptor layer is transparent. 10. A display unit comprising the article of claim 1. 11. A raster image processing method for raster image processing of a print file including color separated image data, light restricting layer data and transparency data, comprising operating on said print file to generate raster data, and introducing said transparency data into said raster image bitmaps for said color separated image data and said light restricting layer data so that the transparent areas in said color separated image raster bitmap and said light restricting layer bitmap are in registry to form the article of claim 1. 12. An article having a conformable substrate and comprising a colorant receptor layer and a light restricting layer on said substrate, said light restricting layer having a plurality of first transparent or translucent areas and a plurality of light restricting areas, the colorant receptor layer is in registry with the light restricting areas. 13. The article of claim 12 comprising a design layer on the substrate, the design layer including at least one color layer, the design layer being subdivided into a plurality of second transparent or translucent areas, and the first and second transparent or translucent areas being in registry. 14. The article of claim 12 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 1. 15. The article of claim 12 wherein the colorant receptor is an ink-jet ink receptor. 16. The article of claim 12 wherein the colorant receptor is a non-porous hygroscopic layer. 17. The article of claim 12 wherein the colorant receptor layer is transparent. 18. A display unit comprising the article of claim 12. 19. An article having a conformable substrate and comprising a colorant receptor layer and a light restricting layer on said substrate, said light restricting layer having a plurality of first transparent or translucent areas and a plurality of light restricting areas, and an adhesive layer on the article opposite the colorant receptor layer. 20. The article of claim 19 comprising a design layer on the substrate, the design layer including at least one color layer, the design layer being subdivided into a plurality of second transparent or translucent areas, and the first and second transparent or translucent areas being in registry. 21. The article of claim 19 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 1. 22. The article of claim 19 wherein the colorant receptor is an ink-jet ink receptor. 23. The article of claim 19 wherein the colorant receptor layer is transparent. 24. A display unit comprising the article of claim 19. 25. An article having a conformable substrate and comprising a colorant receptor layer and a light restricting layer on said substrate, said light restricting layer having a plurality of first transparent or translucent areas and a plurality of light restricting areas, and an adhesive layer on the article adjacent to the colorant receptor layer. 26. The article of claim 25 comprising a design layer on the substrate, the design layer including at least one color layer, the design layer being subdivided into a plurality of second transparent or translucent areas, and the first and second transparent or translucent areas being in registry. 27. The article of claim 25 wherein the light restricting layer has a transmission optical density or TOD of greater than 1. 28. The article of claim 25 wherein the colorant receptor is an ink-jet ink receptor. 29. A display unit comprising the article of claim 25.
