Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for presenting an advertisement by displaying an image on a rotational or moving surface by projecting an image onto a rotational or moving surface. Since the image is not affixed onto the rotational or moving surface, the projected image can be viewed as a stationary image as the projected lights are reflected from the rotating or moving surface. Advertisements or different kinds of images can be presented on rotating surfaces such as rotating tires or rotating engine blades.

Claims

1. An image display system comprising:

an image display surface disposed on a surface covering a part of a moving vehicle for receiving image signals to change images displayed thereon.

2. The image display system of claim 1 wherein:

said image display surface further comprising a liquid crystal display (LCD) surface.

3. The image display system of claim 1 further comprising:

a display controller for controlling and changing images displayed on the image display surface.

4. The image display system of claim 1 further comprising:

a display controller comprising a transceiver for receiving wireless image signals to control and change images displayed on the image display surface.

7. The image display system of claim 1 further comprising:

said image display surface spreader spreading water droplet to form said surface of light reflective particles near a moving vehicle.

5. An image display system comprising:

an image display surface spreader for spreading a surface of light reflective particles for projecting and displaying images on said surface of light reflective particles.

6. The image display system of claim 5 wherein:

said image display surface spreader spreading said surface of light reflective particles near a moving vehicle.

8. The image display system of claim 5 further comprising:

a display controller for controlling and changing images displayed on the image display surface.

9. The image display system of claim 5 further comprising:

a display controller comprising a transceiver for receiving wireless image signals to control and change images displayed on the image display surface.
