Patent ID: 7457038

Claim:
An image display comprising (a) an image medium providing a viewing surface, and (b) an image-directing device, wherein the viewing surface shows a composite image having horizontal and vertical axes and being composed of parallel slices of image data derived from two or more original images, co-mingled to form one image whose slices are tilted so as not to parallel either the horizontal or vertical axis of the composite image; when it is viewed as intended, and wherein the image-directing device comprises elements of a lenticular lens array or a barrier screen that are tilted to parallel the slices of the composite image, which causes the two or more original images to be visible, each from different viewing positions, wherein the composite and original images are broken down into sections and sub-sections, and image data from the original image sub-sections is put into selected sub-sections of the composite image according to a set of mapping rules, such that essentially the same sequence of images is displayed to a viewer, regardless of whether the viewing surface of the image medium containing composite image data is tipped relative to a viewer about a horizontal or a vertical axis as the viewer watches.
