Light panel display apparatus for image sheet illumination

A light panel display apparatus, comprising:

• an upright panel assembly comprising a primary panel having a substantially smooth primary panel first face, and a primary panel second face with at least one light distributing irregularity;
• a diffusing panel, having substantially smooth diffusing panel inward face and substantially smooth a diffusing panel outward face, said diffusing panel being positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to and in abutting relation with the primary panel second face;
• a translucent first image sheet having a first image and positioned substantially parallel to and abutting said primary panel first face and a translucent second image sheet having a second image and positioned substantially parallel to and abutting said diffusing panel outward face;
• a cover sheet structure for structurally holding together upper ends of said primary panel, diffusing panel and image sheets such that they are held in abutting contact and gravity does not bow and fan them apart over time and for protecting said image sheets from mechanical damage and staining, said cover sheet structure having generally an inverted U-shape with a first cover sheet section extending over said first image sheet, and a second cover sheet section extending over said second image sheet, and a cover sheet connecting portion connecting to said first cover sheet-section at a first corner fold and connecting-to said second cover sheet section at a second corner fold, thereby spacing said first cover sheet section from said second cover, sheet section a distance substantially matching the combined width of panels and image sheets to be contained within said cover sheet structure, the panel assembly having a -panel assembly upper end and a panel assembly lower end;
• wherein said primary panel, said diffusing panel, said first cover sheet section and said second cover sheet section are one of translucent and transparent;
• and a base assembly comprising a generally horizontally extending base member with an upwardly opening panel assembly receiving slot into which said panel assembly lower end is removably fitted such that said panel assembly is retained in an upright position, a lighting circuit comprising a light source positioned and oriented to radiate light into an edge of said panel assembly of sufficient intensity to illuminate said panel assembly, and an electric power source.
