Abstract
A photograph display apparatus and associated method of display that includes a substrate having a mounting surface and a rib structure mounted on the mounting surface of the substrate. The rib structure is constructed and arranged to form a series of juxtaposition ribs formed in a parallel array including successive rib peaks. A composite photograph that includes alternating photograph segments of respective first and second photograph is formed in a folded array that includes fold lines that correspond to a demarcation line between respective photograph segments. The folded composite photograph is constructed and arranged for mating support to the rib structure.
Claims21
A system for merging multiple photographs comprising:
- a first electronic register for storing a first photograph;
- a second electronic register for storing a second photograph;
- a first separation controller coupled from said first electronic register for establishing a series of vertically-arranged first photograph segments of the first photograph;
- a second separation controller coupled from said second electronic register for establishing a series of vertically-arranged second photograph segments of the second photograph;
- a multiplexer for receiving the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments, mixing the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments, and alternating the placement of the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments to form, from the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments, a composite photograph in which the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments alternate in position across a width of the composite photograph;
- in combination with a support substrate for the composite photograph;
- wherein the support substrate includes a rib structure mounted on a mounting surface of the substrate, said rib structure constructed and arranged to form a series of juxtaposition ribs formed in a parallel array;
- wherein each vertically-arranged first photograph segment is configured as a rectangular photograph segment;
- wherein each vertically-arranged second photograph segment is configured as a rectangular photograph segment;
- wherein the rib structure is configured as a repeating triangular waveform pattern of contiguous rectangular rib structure portions that are arranged to define respective peaks and valleys with the peaks being arranged spaced apart in the parallel array;
- and wherein said composite photograph is constructed and arranged for mating support over the rib structure.
A method for merging multiple photographs comprising the steps of:
- storing a first photograph;
- storing a second photograph;
- converting the first photograph in order to establish a series of vertically-arranged first photograph segments of the first photograph;
- converting the second photograph in order to establish a series of vertically-arranged second photograph segments of the second photograph;
- mixing the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments by alternating the placement of the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments to form, from the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments, a composite photograph in which the respective vertically-arranged first and second photograph segments alternate in position across a width of the composite photograph;
- providing a support substrate for the composite photograph;
- wherein the support substrate includes a rib structure mounted on a mounting surface of the substrate;
- forming said rib structure in a series of juxtaposition ribs disposed in a spaced apart parallel array;
- configuring each vertically-arranged first photograph segment as a rectangular photograph segment;
- configuring each vertically-arranged second photograph segment as a rectangular photograph segment;
- configuring the rib structure as a repeating triangular waveform pattern of contiguous rectangular rib structure portions;
- and constructing and arranging the composite photograph in position for mating support over the rib structure.
