Optical-fiber display with intensive brightness

An optical display apparatus comprising:

• enclosing means for confining a light reflective chamber, said enclosing means having a panel having a plurality of apertures, said panel having an outside surface;
• lighting means mounted within said enclosing means for generating light rays, said light rays being reflected within said enclosing means;
• and
• a plurality of optical elements including 5.times.10.sup.-5 to 8.times.10.sup.-4 parts by weight of a transparent fluorescent dye per part by weight of a transparent acrylic and a bleaching powder, each of said plurality optical elements having a substantially cylindrical body, a first convex end, and a second convex end, said optical elements being mounted through said panel via said a plurality of apertures so that each said first convex end is on the outside surface of said panel while each said second convex end and each said body are exposed within said chamber.

An optical display apparatus comprising:

• enclosing means for confining a light reflective chamber, said enclosing means having at least one first transparent member and one first panel having a plurality of first apertures, said first transparent member and said first panel forming a first panel assembly that defines a first space between said first transparent member and said first panel;
• lighting means mounted within said enclosing means for generating light rays, said light rays being reflected within said enclosing means;
• and
• a plurality of optical elements, each of said optical elements having a substantially cylindrical body, a first convex end, and a second convex end, said first convex end being larger than said second convex in diameter, said each of optical elements being mounted through said first panel via each of said plurality of first apertures so that said first convex end is sandwiched within said first space while said second convex end and said body are exposed within said chamber.
