Lexan (polycarbonate). You can see any number of companies that make lexan overlays with a web search:

Our company made a product from 1995-2008 or so that used a lexan overlay because it allowed annunciators to be to be totally invisible until lights came on behind them, and then they'd pop out of the black background.
