<p>A method and apparatus for producing an image defined by fluid bubbles (20) in a medium fluid (22). Alphanumeric digits and/or graphic images in a fluid medium (22) are formed by injecting into the fluid medium (22) a multitude of fluid bubbles (20) having a density different than that of the medium fluid (22). Using non-gaseous fluids, the fluid bubbles (20) take on a natural shape, which is not confined by any structures as it travels through the medium fluid (22). The rate at which the fluid bubbles (20) rise or fall through a medium fluid (22) is directly dependent on the viscosity of the individual fluids and the difference between the fluid viscosities. The viscosity of the medium fluid (22) also influences the rate of formation of bubbles being created. The control and timing circuitry determines the time interval wherein each horizontal row of bubbles is created. The rows of bubbles then create a 2-D or 3-D image, conductive for various applications as signs or displays (1).</p> |
