Abstract
Apparatus for producing aerial-images is disclosed employing a combination of focusing reflectors, beamsplitter polarizing filters, and light sources. An object to be displayed is illuminated, and its image partially reflected by the beamsplitter to a focusing mirror and reflected to an aerial position. A polarizer prevents ambient light or images from degrading or interfering with the aerial-image. A clock radio, personal television display counter, as well as animated mannequin versions are disclosed.
