By master-slave distinction, there is no other meaning, but it means that it is a right-angled triangular prism with corresponding and symmetric complementary relationship, and the transparent material is a permeable material, which is colorless and transparent, even a transparent material with primary color. In an embodiment of the invention, the transparent material may be filled with a transparent liquid, such as water, and the two right-angled sides may be of equal length or different lengths. The refractive index of the material is preferably greater than ^, but is close to ^, such as water.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the main column 1 of the present invention is non-closely mated with the main chord 12 from the chord 22 of the post 2, a video module is formed, and at this time, if the content of the graphic or When the external image D is divided into the main right angle surface 11 and the right angle surface 21 on both sides, the image can be visually requested via the other main right angle surface 11 and the other right angle surface 21, respectively, as indicated by the broken line in the figure. At this time, the graphic information or the external image changes the visual direction through the main chord surface 12 and the total reflection from the chord surface 22, respectively. If the images of D and D' are double-sided, the module becomes a device that is transparent and can be displayed on all sides without interfering with each other.

Therefore, the module shown in FIG. 1 can be used as an information display device for setting a picture information piece on one of its main right angle faces 11 and/or from a right angle face 21, and from another main right angle face 11 and/or another slave. The right angle surface 21 is for viewing. Its visually clear and unobtrusive and novel sci-fi senses are unattainable for traditional stereo or flat displays.

As shown in Figure 2-1, the video module formed by the rectangular right-angled prism is divided into two rectangles. Therefore, the two right-angled faces 11 of the main column 1 have different lengths, as is the column 2, and the main chord When the 12 is not closely arranged from the chord 22, the visual appeal as described above is formed. The angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change due to different chord inclination angles, and the viewing angle is obliquely oriented instead of perpendicular to the front. As shown in FIG. 2-2, the modules of the present invention are arranged in consecutive directions in the same direction, and when the graphics are embedded in the middle, a schematic diagram of continuous visual stimulation to the observer W in motion is generated. '

It is actually a combination of several small modules. In this way, the material can be reduced, and the material can be selected differently. For example, the large triangular body below can hold the liquid for the transparent container. Each small unit can be of a different color or the like.

As shown in Fig. 5, in the module of the present invention, the main right-angled surface 11 and the right-angled surface 21 are respectively lengthened, that is, extended by the original dotted line, so that the function of the module of the present invention can also be formed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the module of the present invention is arranged in a plurality of groups in the same direction to form a planar solid, and the graphic information D can be selectively placed on one side of the plane body or in a rectangular plane between the two modules, such as D'. As shown in the figure, A is seen as a left-right inverted image of total reflection, and as seen at B, it is a positive image of secondary total reflection, but with a displacement of the module width.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the modules of the present invention are staggered, the layout of the graphic information D can be four types of options such as D1, D2, D3, and D4, that is, the slots can be placed in each of the interfaces. The visual changes produced at this time are more diverse. The actual configuration is adjusted for design purposes. For example, a discolored desktop, a screen, and the like.

8 is an embodiment in which the modules of the present invention are in the same direction, and only two fans are arranged in an opposite direction and serve as a door leaf. In this case, if the graphic information piece D is set at the interface of each module, the inside of the door is also shown. In the upper middle vertical visual view, that is, in the direction of A in the figure, the information content of the graphic and text can be seen, only squint, that is, visually in the direction of C in the figure, and the incident angle of the line of sight is smaller than the total total reflection angle, For transparency, and from the outside to the inside, that is, the direction of A in the figure, the content of the other side of the picture can be seen. This picture can be designed from the outside to be a pair of door gods, and from the inside to see the scenery Flowers and birds.

As shown in FIG. 9, 'the present invention utilizes the characteristics of the secondary total reflection shown in FIG. 6 to form a positive image, and the module adopts the same direction as the application embodiment of the security gate, as shown by the dotted line, if the module junction is added When a double-sided mirror two way mirroi M is placed, a one-way safety inspection function can be formed. When the light outside the door is strong, the observer in the door can obliquely see the visitor, but the visitor outside the door cannot see it. When the observer is inside the door and has two total reflections, there is no image reversal. If the steel plate S is placed on the chord, a bulletproof safety door is formed. Further, since the visitor and the observer in the door are not face to face with respect to the door leaf, there is no danger of close proximity. This design can be an entire door or partial configuration.

As shown in FIG. 10-1, in an embodiment of the present invention, the module of the present invention can be designed to be oblique, and when the graphic information D is placed under the frame, the oblique panel can be Imaging, that is, the image is twice reflected and then presented to the front surface with an elevation angle.
