Lighted articulated display assembly

摘要

A display-panel for displaying point-of-purchase information includes an outer panel adapted to house at least one light source. The outer panel also constrains a an inner panel and a transparent front panel. The graphic to be displayed is mounted to one surface of the transparent front panel. The front panel and inner panel are configured in a manner such that a portion of the light transmitted into the transparent front panel through its peripheral edge is refracted toward the inner panel. The refracted light impinging upon the inner panel is reflected at an angle so to as to impinge upon the front panel and pass entirely through the front panel and the graphic to be seen by the observer. The placement of the light near the perimeter of the front panel, coupled with the optical characteristics of the front panel and inner panel can be altered to provide unique optical effects for enhancing recognition by observers.
