Abstract

An image display apparatus ( 10 ) comprising a backing panel ( 12 ), one or more first raised portions ( 14 ) located on the backing panel ( 12 ), each first raised portion ( 14 ) having an upper surface upon which is secured an image ( 18 ) for display; and a backing support panel ( 11 ) upon which is mounted the said backing panel ( 12 ), the backing support panel ( 11 ) comprising a transparent material and having a perimeter such that the perimeter of the backing support panel ( 11 ) extends at least to a perimeter of the backing panel ( 12 ).

1 . An image display apparatus comprising:
 a backing panel;   one or more first raised portions located on the panel, each first raised portion having an upper surface upon which is secured an image for display; and   a backing support panel upon which is mounted the said backing panel,   
       the backing support panel comprising a transparent material and having a perimeter such that the perimeter of the backing support panel extends at least to a perimeter of the backing panel. 
     
     
         2 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the perimeter of the backing support panel extends beyond the perimeter of the backing panel. 
     
     
         3 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing support is formed of a rigid durable material. 
     
     
         4 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing support panel is formed from a sheet of plastic material. 
     
     
         5 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising one or more second raised portions located on the panel. 
     
     
         6 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each second raised portion is provided with an upper surface upon which is secured content for display, each second raised portion further having at least one inner edge which is arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from an outer edge of a first raised portion to create a channel therebetween. 
     
     
         7 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each second raised portion is provided with an upper surface upon which is secured content for display, each second raised portion further having at least one inner edge which is arranged abut against an outer edge of a first raised portion. 
     
     
         8 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 5  wherein each second raised portion has at least one inner edge arranged to surround a perimeter of each first raised portion such that each first raised portion is located within, and spaced apart from said second raised portion to create a channel therebetween. 
     
     
         9 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 8  wherein each second raised portion is formed of two or more component portions. 
     
     
         10 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 9  wherein said two or more component portions are abutted together to form at least one of said second raised portions. 
     
     
         11 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 8  wherein each second raised portion has an upper surface to which a mounting panel is secured. 
     
     
         12 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing panel may be formed of a sheet of plastic. 
     
     
         13 . An image display apparatus as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the backing panel may be formed from a sheet of metal.
