A display device for sequentially displaying a plurality of images interlaced on a single mosaic transparency includes a frame and a drive assembly engageable with the mosaic and operative to drive the mosaic through a closed loop path. A thermal compensation device is mounted on the frame and engaged with a substantially opaque mask overlying the mosaic and formed with a uniform aperture pattern for sequential alignment with the images formed on the mosaic. The thermal compensation device is responsive to temperature changes within the display device to shift the mask relative to the frame such that the mask follows the shifting of the mosaic due to such temperature changes to thereby maintain the mask and mosaic in the proper relative positions for precise registration of the image pixels formed on the mosaic with the apertures in the mask.

Display apparatus having thermal compensation

A display device for sequentially displaying multiple sets of image pixels formed on a transparent mosaic through an aperture pattern formed in a substantially opaque mask. An AC gear motor and drive assembly is employed to move the mosaic through a predetermined travel path relative to the mask to sequentially register the image sets with the aperture pattern. A control system is employed to temporarily deactivate the gear motor at predetermined precise positions to display the various images through the aperture pattern.

Display apparatus with AC gear motor drive control

A display device for sequentially displaying multiple sets of image pixels formed on a transparent mosaic through an aperture pattern formed in a substantially opaque mask. An DC gear motor and drive assembly is employed to move the mosaic through a predetermined travel path relative to the mask to sequentially register the image sets with the aperture pattern. A control system is employed to temporarily deactivate the gear motor at predetermined precise positions to display the various images through the aperture pattern.

Display apparatus with DC gear motor drive control

Compact display apparatus for sequentially registering image pixels interlaced on a mosaic and corresponding to discrete images with an aperture pattern on a mask to display such discrete images. A plurality of biasing arms are provided to adjust the mosaic relative to the mask to properly register the image pixels on the mosaic with the apertures on the mask. A drive assembly is provided to displace the mosaic on a dosed loop path to sequentially register the image pixels corresponding with discrete images with the apertures in the mask.

Compact display apparatus

An exposure system for creating a single frame transparency having an enlarger rack with a transparency fixture including a light obscuring exposure mask and a multi axial table for relative movement therebetween during an exposure process which results in a single transparency having four independent images, each of the images having spaced apart groups of pixels interlaced with the groups of pixels from each of the other images, each of the images being selectable for projection by a movable grid mask. A method for preparing multiple images from a single transparency is also disclosed. The transparency is formed by sequentially exposing portions of a sheet of film overlayed by a gridlike mask, and correspondingly repositioning the film after each exposure such that a new interlaced area of film is exposed.

Sequential display mosaic fabrication fixture and method of making

An exposure system for creating a single frame transparency having an enlarger rack with a transparency fixture. The fixture includes an inner and outer frame which cooperate to allow incremental relative movement therebetween during an exposure process which results in a single transparency having four independent images, each of the images having spaced apart groups of pixels interlaced with the groups of pixels from each of the other images, each of the images being selectable for projection by a movable grid mask. A method for preparing four images from a single transparency is also disclosed. The transparency is formed by sequentially exposing portions of a sheet of film overlayed by a gridlike mask, and correspondingly repositioning the mask after each exposure such that a new interlaced area of film is exposed.

Mosaic fabrication fixture and method of making mosaics

An advertising display apparatus with precise rotary drive includes a programmable stepper motor positively coupled to a pair of eccentric drives. Rotation of the eccentric drives moves a film sheet containing discrete images formed from corresponding sets of pixels through a closed loop path across a platen stopping at precise dwell points. At each dwell point, a set of pixels register with a plurality of apertures within an overlying grid sheet and are illuminated by a light source within the apparatus to display the image.
