Abstract:
Display apparatus for conferring a three-dimensional viewing effect to a displayed two-dimensional material, the apparatus comprising convex surface defining means having a viewing opening therethrough, and material presenting means to present said two-dimensional material for viewing through said opening from the convex surface side of said convex surface defining means, wherein said material presenting means can present said two-dimensional material for viewing when said two-dimensional material is curved oppositely to said convex surface so as to be concavely presented for viewing, wherein the convex surface defining means and at least part of the material presenting means are in a fixed relationship, and wherein resilient sandwiching means are provided for said two-dimensional material, said resilient sandwiching means are held under edgewise compression in a stable condition by said at least part of the material presenting means so as to provide the concave presentation for viewing of the two-dimensional material and wherein said resilient sandwiching means define at least one rebate for locating the two-dimensional material for viewing.
