Lighted multiple panel display
First Claim
1. A lighted multiple panel display unit capable of providing a variety of visual effects, comprising:
- a plurality of layered panels made of light transmitting materials;
at least two of the plurality of layered panels being spaced apart such that there is a gap between them;
each of the plurality of panels comprising a relief;
a plurality of light sources for illuminating at least a portion of the relief of each panel, the light sources being actuated in a predetermined sequence such that the reliefs produce a visual effect selected from the set comprising;
a color blending effect, a three-dimensional appearance effect, a morphing effect or a color fading effect.

Abstract
A lighted multiple panel display unit capable of providing a variety of visual effects has layered panels made of light transmitting materials. At least two of the layered panels are spaced apart such that there is a gap between them. Each of the panels comprising a relief. Multiple light sources illuminate at least a portion of the relief of each panel, the light sources being actuated in a predetermined sequence such that the reliefs produce a visual effect. Visual effects which may be produced include a color blending effect, a three-dimensional appearance effect, a morphing effect and a color fading effect.

27. A lighted display capable of providing a visual effect, the lighted display comprising:
-
a first display formed of light transmitting material, the display including a relief having a first portion and a second portion;
a first light for illuminating at least the first portion of the relief;
a second light for illuminating at least the second portion of the relief;
wherein the first portion of the relief is more brightly illuminated by the first light than the second portion of the relief, and wherein the second portion of the relief is more brightly illuminated by the second light than the first portion of the relief; and
the first and second lights being illuminated such that the relative brightness of the first portion with respect to the second portion changes over time, thereby creating a visual effect. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39)

40. A lighted display capable of providing a visual effect, the display comprising:
-
a first display of light transmitting material comprising a first relief and a second relief;
a first light illuminating at least a portion of the first the relief more brightly than any portion of the second relief;
a second light illuminating at least a portion of the second relief more brightly than any portion of the first relief;
the first and second lights being adapted to be illuminated such that at least one characteristic of the relative illumination of the at least a portion of the first relief with respect to the at least a portion of the second relief changes over time, thereby creating a visual effect. - View Dependent Claims (41)

42. A lighted multiple panel display unit capable of providing a variety of visual effects, comprising:
-
a plurality of layered panels made of light transmitting materials, each of the plurality of panels having a first and second narrow edge and a first an second broad edge, each of the first and second broad edges being longer than each of the first and second narrow edges;
each of the plurality of panels comprising a relief;
a plurality of light sources for illuminating at least a portion of the relief of each panel, the light sources being actuated in a manner such that the reliefs produce a visual effect selected from the set comprising;
a color blending effect, a three-dimensional appearance effect, a morphing effect or a color fading effect;
at least one of the plurality of panels having the associated relief being illuminated by one or more light sources proximal to the at least one of the first and second broad edges.
