Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble d'affichage d'image (200) comprenant : une base ayant une face avant pour fixer une image ou un autre matériel d'affichage pour l'affichage, et une face non-image, la face non-image comprenant une pluralité de rainures en V linéaires (212), où la pluralité de rainures en V linéaires segmentent la base en un ou plusieurs segments pliables (222, 224) qui, lors du pliage des segments, assemblent la base en une structure de support comprenant une pluralité de coins, formant ainsi une base assemblée comprenant au moins une face d'affichage d'image formée à partir d'au moins une partie de la face avant. L'invention concerne également un affichage d'image assemblé, un procédé de création d'un affichage d'image et l'utilisation d'un ensemble d'affichage d'image pour créer un affichage d'image.
