Abstract

Techniques for displaying three-dimensional photograph for a substantially enhanced three-dimensional visual result and clarity are disclosed. Although there are several ways to view a three-dimensional photograph, the invention herein provides a particularly thin, light weight, economical, long life, convenient, flexible, having uniform illumination with the right amount of back light suitable for viewing three-dimensional photographs and produces a substantially enhanced three-dimensional visual effect and clarity of the object or objects depicted in the three-dimensional photograph. According to one aspect of these techniques, an electroluminescent lighting for the back lit on the display panel is provided and energized either by battery, rechargeable battery or AC adapter. The display panel includes a lenticular sheet, a three-dimensional photograph and a back lit lighting source, specifically, an electroluminescent lighting sheet and an inverter energizing said lighting sheet. The display system has a piece of glass placed in front of the lenticular sheet so that there is no feeling or sight of using a lenticular sheet for three-dimensional viewing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for displaying a three-dimensional photograph for a substantially enhanced three-dimensional visual result for more depth effect and clarity, the system comprising of:
 a photo mounting device, generally, a picture frame, a piece of glass, a layer or multiple layers of picture mat, a lenticular len or sheet, a three-dimensional photograph, an electroluminescent lighting sheet, an inverter to drive said lighting sheet, one or more battery or rechargeable battery, a wire or wireless power switch, a battery charging device and an AC power adapter.   
   
   
       2 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein it consists of a display panel. 
   
   
       3 . The system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the display panel consists of a lenticular sheet with its ribbed surface facing forward, an electroluminescent lighting sheet of predetermined color, with its light surface facing the back of a three-dimensional photograph. Thus, the three dimensional photograph is laminated or mounted facing forward between said lenticular sheet and said electroluminescent lighting sheet, whereby when said electroluminescent lighting sheet is energized, a substantially enhanced three-dimensional visual result of said photograph can be viewed with more depth and clarity. 
   
   
       4 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the display system may consist of a piece of glass placed directly over a layer or multiple layers of picture mat or a lenticular sheet so that the ribbed surface of said lenticular sheet cannot be touched or seen to give a feeling of absence of said lenticular sheet for a substantially enhanced three-dimensional viewing. 
   
   
       5 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the display system consists of a compartment installed on the back of a photo mounting device to house a switch, an inverter and one or more battery or rechargeable battery to energize said inverter and said electroluminescent lighting sheet.
