Abstract

A display and an associated method of making the display are disclosed. The display is characterized by one or more partial image carriers, each having mounted thereon a partial image, and arranged at predetermined locations and orientations such that they cooperatively define a desired transitory complete image design or logo when viewed by an observer passing by a predetermined viewing area relative to the display. Several embodiments are disclosed which achieve the desired result. One embodiment includes a fragmented arrangement of multiple partial image carriers where the partial image carriers may be constructed from two-dimensional flat plates or three-dimensional solid objects or a combination of both. Another embodiment utilizes partially transparent partial image carriers.
