On the second mix shader you don't have an input. That will make it black. — , Jan 07 '18 at 16:44

All you need is a light to show the poster, right? I don't understand the issue — J Sargent, Jan 07 '18 at 19:56

You need to move the poster&LED plane between the two light emission planes.

As in the file you posted:

After moving the poster&LED plane into the middle

After moving the poster&LED plane down the image starts to appear

But in real life the poster is in middle and the led is at the back end so its not the answer i think so – atek Jan 08 '18 at 02:58

@atek if you want light to go through the image you will need to make it slightly transparent. The problem at the moment is the image sheet is fully blocking out the light from the backlight – Tim Jan 08 '18 at 07:38
