TL;DR: In this article, an efficient economical process is provided to produce an impressive display with outstanding marketing and advertising appeal, in which multiple images are formed, such as on a central processing unit, the images are striped or manipulated, eliminating rows of pixels and replacing them with pixels from other images, and portions thereof are superimposed on a viewable surface of the display.
Abstract: An efficient economical process is provided to produce an impressive display with outstanding marketing and advertising appeal. In the process, multiple images are formed, such as on a central processing unit, the images are striped or manipulated, eliminating rows of pixels and replacing them with pixels from other images, and portions thereof are superimposed. The superimposed images can be printed on a viewable surface of the display. A lenticular lens, fresnel lenticular lens plate, lens with a textured surface, plate lens, ultraviolet cured resinous lens, lens with an undercut, cluster of anamorphic lenses, transparent rods, or grid, can be placed in front of the images to provide a special display which has the illusion of animation, morphing or movement as the angle of sight changes. The images can also be printed directly on the back surface of the lens to provide self-contained lenticular graphics. The special display can be used to provide: an attractive calendar, post card, decoding card, business card, bookmark, computer disc case, compact disc case, laser disc case, video cassette case, audio cassette case, display box, bag, insulating cup, lid, book, mural, picture frame, game piece, jewelry, button, shoe ornament, multi-faced hanging display, premium, award display, self-standing plaque, shelf header slide-in display, bumper sticker, pen, credit card, swinging display, wag, place mat, traffic sign, compact disc, laser disc, recordable disc, monitor, television screen, computer screen, flat screen panel display, and display with multiple rotating panels, as well as other products.

16 Feb 1988TL;DR: In this article, a lenticular lens array is used to focus light onto the cells of the picture elements, and three primary light colors are split so that the individual cells within the image elements receive only the desired color of light.
Abstract: An illumination system for a color display device includes means for separating the different polarizations of incoming light. One of the polarizations is rotated whereby the polarization of all the light directed toward the screen is the same. A lenticular lens array is used to focus light onto the cells of the picture elements. The three primary light colors are split so that the individual cells within the picture elements receive only the desired color of light.

27 Dec 1993TL;DR: A lenticular lens has a light transmitting substrate and a plurality of lens elements formed on the substrate as mentioned in this paper, where the lens elements are defined in such a way that ridges thereof are aligned in parallel with each other, wherein 30°≦θ 10% ≦100° and R≦20%, where R is the ratio of side lobes to main lobe.
Abstract: A lenticular lens has a light transmitting substrate and a plurality of lens elements formed on the light transmitting substrate. The lens elements are defined in such a way that ridges thereof are aligned in parallel with each other, wherein 30°≦θ 10% ≦100° and R≦20%, where θ 10% is a diffusing angle range with respect to normal of the one surface in the case that when light is entered from the opposite surface and transmitted from the one surface, the intensity of the light transmitted is equal to or more than 10% of the intensity of the light transmitted in a peak direction of a main lobe; and R is the ratio of side lobes to main lobe. The intensity of side lobes which causes light loss and light stray can be remarkably reduced. Light can be equally and isotropically focused on in a predetermined diffusing angle range.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the creation of computer generated lenticular images, which involves the computer manipulation of at least a first and second source image, which can be of the same object and can be sequential in time or sequential in spatial perspective.
Abstract: The creation of computer generated lenticular images involves the computer manipulation of at least a first and second source image. The images can be of the same object and can be sequential in time or sequential in spatial perspective, or completely unrelated. The images can be scanned into a computer memory and are interlaced. The input can be any source of image. Likewise, the output can be manipulated to any resolution. The output interlaced image is then printed onto a substrate, such as the back surface of a lenticular lens. The frequency of the interlaced image can be matched to the geometry of the lenticules. Thus, the viewer will see the first image from a first viewing perspective and the second image from a second viewing perspective. The invention also provides quality control methods useful in the manufacture of lenticular lenses and lenticular devices.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for forming a graphic image web including a precursor image web combined with a congruent lenticular lens web to produce the illusion of three dimensionality in a visually perceptible image on the graphic image Web is presented.
Abstract: The present invention is a method for forming a graphic image web including a precursor image web combined with a congruent lenticular lens web to produce the illusion of three dimensionality in a visually perceptible image on the graphic image web. To produce this illusion of three dimensionality, an image field including an object is defined. The object is imagewise exposed onto a photographically sensitive element over a plurality of spatially disparate views through a lenticular lens having a prescribed optical geometry. Upon developing the latent image on said element, it is printed to form the precursor image web. The congruent lenticular lens web is then optically combined with the precursor image web to create the graphic image web having graphic information of photographically acceptable quality imparted with the illusion of three dimensionality.
