Claim One:
1. A display apparatus for an observer, comprising: a mask including opaque areas and apertures between the opaque areas; an output frame being positioned in such a way that the mask is positioned between the observer and the output frame; a plurality of sets of static image fractions supported by the output frame, each set being derived from a corresponding static image, of a series of static images presenting an animation sequence, where individual image fractions of each set are distributed along the output frame, so that each individual image fraction is associated with a corresponding aperture, that the image fractions of a given set may be viewed, at the same time, by the observer looking at the corresponding plurality of apertures at the same time, enabling the observer, when stationary, to perceive a given static image as a whole and, when moving, to perceive the animation sequences; each static image having a vertical axis and having a horizontal axis, each being vertically sliced along the horizontal axis to provide image fractions, which are distributed on the output frame in a predetermined sequence; and the mask including alternating opaque members and transparent member being placed in parallel orientation to the output frame such that a portion of each instance of the image fraction is selectively visible to the observer and is substantially parallel to the output frame and to the mask; and wherein said image fractions are in sequence along a path to provide an output image as determined by the formula: 
 O ( x+y− 1), y=Ix,y where On,m=output frame n, fraction m, and Ix,y=input image x, fraction y.
