Abstract:

A multi-layer three-dimensional display has three layers which are spaced apart in a common frame, with the front two being semi-transparent. Each layer is painted with a portion of an image, with the foreground details being on the front panel and the background on the back panel, etc. The central panel is a solid transparent sheet with the illustration applied thereto, and also being provided with a series of opaque, closely spaced light stripes. The front panel is preferably made of a screen similar to a window screen but could alternatively be a transparent sheet with or without a single grid of parallel lines. The display has an interior illumination means which cooperates with the visual effect of the front panel over the striped central panel in front of the opaque background panel to give the display a special shimmering effect and enhance its three-dimensional appearance.
