Claims21
A visual display device comprising:
- a plurality of display panels forming a display area, each of the display panels is securable to a common support device and independently movable relative to a nonmovable axis associated with the common support device, the common support device nonmovably positioned within the display area, the display panels positionable in a first position, comprising a first display panel movable relative to a nonmovable first axis and a second display panel movable relative to a nonmovable second axis, the first axis and the second axis being nonparallel to each other, wherein the first display panel and the second display panel are capable of simultaneous movement.
A visual display panel comprising:
- a first display panel movable relative to a first axis for interacting with a second display panel movable relative to a second axis, the first display panel and the second display panel forming a display area, the first display panel and the second display panel directly securable to a common support device nonmovably positioned within the display area and independently movable relative to the first axis and the second axis, the first axis and the second axis being non-parallel to each other and being nonmovable relative to the common support device, wherein the first display panel and the second display panel are capable of simultaneous movement;
- the first visual display panel comprising a body securable to a support device along an axis of the support device, the body movable relative to the axis, the body having a first portion and a second portion including non-mechanical selectively separable, reusable, self-aligning mating features.
A method for forming a visual effect, comprising:
- providing a plurality of display panels, each of the display panels is directly secured to a nonmovable common support device and independently movable relative to a nonmovable axis associated with the common support device, the display panels positionable in a first position, comprising a first display panel movable relative to a nonmovable first axis and a second display panel movable relative to a nonmovable second axis, the first axis and the second axis being nonparallel to each other, wherein the first display panel and the second display panel are capable of simultaneous movement;
- and
- providing a plurality of display panels forming a display area, each of the display panels having a motor within the display area for moving the display panels relative to one another;
- and
- actuating the motor of at least one of the display panels between a first position and a second position.
