Abstract

A method for manufacturing a panel includes forming a path segment on a surface of a substrate from a photoluminescent material. The method further includes overlaying the path segment with an overlay material. The overlay material is configured to render the path segment substantially invisible under an ambient photopic condition and render the path segment visible under an ambient mesopic or scotopic condition.
