Description
"AN IMPROVED DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING
REFLECTED THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES(S) OR
VIDEO(S)"
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved device for displaying reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s). More particularly, it relates to an improved device for displaying reflected three- dimensional image(s) or video(s) with enhanced visibility area and emphasized clarity from left and right sides, equivalent to emphasized clarity from front side of the device and provides enlarged volumetric space for exhibiting multiple three-dimensional objects within the single unit.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present scenario, advertising and promotional activities serve an important variable in the global business. The potentialities of advertising multiply when substantial interest is given to promotional systems for advertising upcoming products and services. Advertisements pervade every aspect of consumer's life, provided they are displayed using appropriate medium.
Three-dimensional imaging is prominent amongst many advertising companies, advertising decoration departments, computer graphics, design studios and related industries. Three-dimensional imaging technology in the advertising has a wide range of applications and promising market prospects. Three-dimensional display devices are capable of conveying a stereoscopic perception of 3-D depth to the viewer. Moreover, unlike other concepts involving three-dimensional display, advertising requires a method of displaying stereoscopic images (adding binocular perception of 3D depth) without the use of special headgear or glasses on the part of the viewer. The technology thus can be said "glasses- free 3D" or "glasses-less 3D", also known as "Autostereoscopy". Conventionally available three-dimensional display devices do not provide emphasized clarity of the three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) reflected. Also, the three-dimensional display devices available in the market provide limited visibility area, rendering more area displaying distorted three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) to the viewers. Moreover some of the devices do not have provision for displaying physically placed objects in addition to virtual reflected three dimensional images. Even though popularly available display devices provided unique appearance they have failed to utilize the volumetric display space at fullest. They have also failed to utilize the proper area of dark backdrop resulting into the emphasized clarity of the product from only front side, facilitated by the dark backdrop whereas the arrangement of reflecting media is such that the said dark backdrop fails to provide clear visibility from left and right sides. Some of the currently available devices have also failed to provide the audio option with the appliance.
PRIOR ART
US Patent Application No. 20110002038 discloses a three- dimensional image formation device including a mounting box, an image source device, a plurality of transparent reflecting lenses and a top panel. Reflection principles are used for reflecting a plurality of image sources of the image source device onto the transparent reflecting lenses tilted at an angle of 45 degrees, such that a viewer can view a 3D image floating in the air from any angle and the 3D image formation device gives a lively 3D perception of the image to enhance the value of the product. However, the arrangement of the reflecting surfaces in the pyramid shape when not provided with dark backdrop does not emphasize the reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) clearly from any of the sides of the said device. Even if the backdrop is placed, it can only facilitate visibility of the three-dimensional image or video from the front side and the said image or video is not clearly visible from left and right sides enabling only the viewers sitting exactly opposite to the front side of the device to view clearly emphasized three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) so formed.
US Patent Application No. 20090009862 discloses a three- dimensional display device including a display panel displaying first to nth partial images along a circumference; and an n-gonal pyramid mirror including first to nth mirrors at n side surfaces, respectively, of the n-gonal pyramid mirror, wherein the first to nth mirrors reflect the first to nth partial images, respectively, and wherein each of the first to nth mirrors substantially makes a 45 degree angle with the display panel. However, such devices do not have provision for displaying physically placed objects in addition to virtual reflected three dimensional images.
DISADVANTAGES OF THE PRIOR ART
Conventional three-dimensional display devices available in the prior art suffer from at least one of the following problems: 1. Most of them provide limited clear visibility area to the viewers.
2. Most of the devices do not provide large volumetric display space.
3. Many of them are not facilitated with dark backdrop failing to emphasize the reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) clearly from any of the sides of the said device.
4. In most of the devices, the arrangement is such that black backdrop facilitates clearly emphasized visibility of the three- dimensional image or video only from front side whereas the arrangement of reflecting media is such that the said dark backdrop fails to provide clear visibility from left and right sides.
5. Most of them do not provide flexibility of lengths and angles between the reflecting sides as per requirement.
6. Some of them do not provide the audio option with the appliance.
7. Some of them do not have provision for displaying physically placed objects in addition to virtual reflected three dimensional images.
So to overcome all above said problems of existing devices, the present device is invented for displaying reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) which provides enhanced visibility area and emphasized clarity from left and right sides, equivalent to emphasized clarity from front side of the device with more display space for exhibiting multiple three-dimensional objects to be displayed within the single unit.

DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the proposed invention, the features, nature and advantages of the disclosed subject matter will become more apparent from the detailed description set forth below.
Referring to Fig. l to 9, in an improved device (1) for displaying reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) is provided with an image or video source (2) which offers the image(s) or video(s) to be reflected on transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5). The said image or video source (2) is static image (self illuminate poster) or video reproduced on any kind of monitor display device (LCD monitor, LED monitor or any video display device). The said image or video source (2) can project multiple similar/ different image (s) or video(s) on transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) and accordingly multiple similar/ different image(s) or video(s) reflects. The said improved device (1) is also provided with dark backdrop (3) to offer a dark background for clear visibility of the reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7). The said dark backdrop (3) can be of a dark color or 100% black non-reflective backdrop or black vinyl or black paper or any black flat plain non reflected surface. The said transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) are inclined to the image or video source (2) such that each transparent or semi- transparent reflecting medium (5) form an angle of 45° with the image or video source (2), forming trapezoid shape on the opposite side of the image or video source (2) as shown in Fig. lA and Fig.7A. The trapezoid is formed such that, it allows flexibility of lengths and angles between the transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) as per requirement. The angle between front and adjacent transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) ranges between 90° to 180° and the angle formed between the said adjacent transparent or semi- transparent reflecting media (5) and dark backdrop (3) is less than 90°. The trapezoid so formed, provides enhanced visibility area and emphasized clarity of the three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) reflected within volumetric space, from left side (LS) as well as right side (RS) equivalent to the front side (FS) of an improved device (1) facilitated with dark backdrop (3) to offer a dark background against the object(s) placed in object placement area (6) and reflected three- dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) on transparent or semi- transparent reflecting media (5) or any combination thereof. A light source (4) is provided to project light on the object placed in the object placement area (6).
The said arrangement of the transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) enables the visualization of three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) in accordance with the pepper's ghost principle. The transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) used can be glass or half silvered transparent or semi-transparent media or any other reflecting surface. The choice of the extent of transparency of the said transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) depends on the intended application of the improved device (1). For an example when a static object placed in the object placement area (6) is to be emphasized, a transparent reflecting media can be used and if the reflected video is to be emphasized, then a semi-transparent reflecting media (5) can be used. The said semi-transparent reflecting media (5) can have up to 40-60% transparency.
The present invention allows flexibility of lengths and angles between the transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) as per requirement. The said lengths of the sides and angles between them can be changed so as to accommodate the present improved device (1) in the available space without compromising the emphasized clarity. Fig.lA shows the front view of the present improved device (1), emphasizing the 45° angle formed between the image or video source (2) and each transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) and trapezoid formed by the arrangement of said transparent or semi- transparent reflecting media (5) on the opposite side of the image or video source (2).
The image(s) or video(s) projected from the image or video source (2) reflects through each transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5), generating reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) inside volumetric space of the present improved device (1). Further,
Fig. IB depicts the direction of irriage(s) or video(s) projection and angle of direction of reflection generating three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) by dotted lines and the reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) thus formed is shown in Fig. lC.
Fig.2A and Fig.2B respectively show perspective views of the present improved device (1) from right side (RS) and left side (LS).
Fig.3 shows the side view of the present improved device (1) emphasizing the 45° angle formed between the image or video source
(2) and the transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) of the trapezoid. The said arrangement facilitates the reflection of image(s) or video(s) through each transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) of the trapezoid so as to form a reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) within the volumetric space of the present improved device (1).
Fig.4B shows top view of the present improved device (1) emphasizing the trapezoid shape formed by the above described arrangement of the transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5). The trapezoid shape so formed covers additional area (8) shown by dashed lines compared to an arrangement with square or rectangular shape in case of a pyramidal shaped device shown in fig.4A. Such an arrangement of the present improved device (1) covers a larger volumetric space and enhances the visibility area and emphasized clarity of the reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) from left side (LS) as well as right side (RS) equivalent to the front side (FS) of the present improved device (1). The said enhanced visibility and clarity is facilitated by the dark backdrop (3) is also utilized by transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) on left side (LS) as well as right side (RS) apart from front side (FS). The above described point is made clear from the Fig.5A and Fig.5B as described below.

Fig.5B depicts the present improved device (1) which commonly provides dark backdrop (3) to left side (LS), right side (RS) and front side (FS) to provide clear visibility from all the said sides, emphasizing the object(s) placed in object placement area (6) and reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) from all the said sides.
Referring to Fig.5A and Fig.6A, in conventionally available devices, the object(s) placed in object placement area (6) and reflected three- dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) is clearly emphasized only from front side (FS) facilitated by the dark backdrop (3) whereas the arrangement of reflecting media is such that the said dark backdrop
(3) fails to provide clear visibility from left side (LS) and right side (RS). Also, the area shown with lines between front side (FS) - left side (LS) and front side (FS) - right side (RS) is rendered displaying distorted object placed in object placement area (6) and reflected three- dimensional image(s) or video (s) (7).
Referring to Fig.5B and Fig.6B, the present invention has such an arrangement of transparent or semi-transparent reflecting media (5) that dark backdrop (3) commonly facilitates to emphasize object(s) placed in object placement area (6) and reflected three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) from left side (LS), right side (RS) and front side (FS) by providing clear visibility from all the said sides, increasing the proper visibility area (as shown by dotted area) and reducing the area displaying distorted three-dimensional image(s) or video(s) (7) highlighted with lines as compared to conventional devices shown in
