THIN FILM HIGH DEFINITION DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DISPLAY DEVICE AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME

摘要

A high definition thin lens dimensional image display device and methods of manufacturing the same. The thin lens dimensional image display device generally includes a lens array on a first surface of a film, such as a lenticular lens array or a fly's eye lens array, with a printed imaged either printed directly on a second planar surface of the film, or on a separate substrate that is laminated thereto. The resulting display device offers a lower cost display device having greater flexibility for a wider variety of applications than traditional image display devices, without compromising image quality. Processes for manufacturing the display device include printing on a pre-fabricated thin lens web, inline printing of an image and patterning of the lens array, and inline printing of a substrate and application of a coating to the substrate which is subsequently patterned or embossed.

主权项

1. Flexible packaging for displaying a dimensional image comprising:
a substrate; a lens array, the lens array including a plurality of lenses; and a dimensional image layer viewable through the lens array, wherein the dimensional image layer and the lens array define a light steering optical layer having a thickness of about one to about ten mils.
