Abstract

The present invention relates to a rectangular display frame structure, which enables at least one lengthwise hollowed-out area, set on front panel edges of the frame body, to install an ornamental tube inside. The ornamental tube contains colored and colorless liquid with tiny spangles. A heating light (such as light bulb) is located at the base of the ornamental tube utilizing generated light for projecting onto the ornamental tube, at the same time, heating up the base to form bubbles in liquid. Rising bubbles move spangles upward; meanwhile, the light is reflected from the spangles to give a flame-like visual effect. The central portion of the panel includes a hollowed-out display area for displaying a photo, a picture, or embedding a glass window in it, as wishes. The said display area further enables clock hands and its dials to be mounted to achieve the effect of showing time.
