Definitions
- This invention relates to arrangements for producing different (e.g. changing) light patterns, pictures or signs etc. for use for example in advertising (e.g. signs), entertainment (e.g. theatre), education (e.g. demonstrations), art and visible alarm and other light signal technology.
- advertising e.g. signs
- entertainment e.g. theatre
- education e.g. demonstrations
- art and visible alarm and other light signal technology e.g.
- the present invention utilises this known phenomenon of colour science to produce a plurality (two or three) of independent patterns to represent any pattern of areas, ornament, script or picture light and dark and any degrees of grey (the light can be of any primary colour as explained hereafter) by providing a means to project light sequentially from two (or three) primary colour light sources onto a picture painted exclusively in the same primary colours of the said light sources and white and black. Different independent patterns may thus be produced on the same background area.
- each pattern as set out below may be utilised to produce the illusion of motion when patterns are alternated for example and an essential feature of the invention resides in producing two or three patterns (three independent patterns is the maximum number possible without loss of independence) of dark and light areas (varying degrees of grey may also be incorporated).
- two patterns may first be designed. Then, using a substantially black background, the first pattern is painted on the background with blue paint and the second pattern is painted on with red paint.
- the common areas of the two patterns i.e. the crossing areas where the two patterns overlap each other) are painted white.
- the first pattern applied to the background alone will show up light while the second pattern (painted red) will merge with the black background. If the light projected is changed to red, the second pattern alone will show up.
- Figure 1 of the drawings there is shown a first pattern 1 on the left and a second pattern 2 on the right.
- the first pattern may be painted in blue paint on to a black background 3 as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings.
- the second pattern 2 may be painted in red paint on the same black background 3.
- the overlapping area 4 of the two patterns 1 and 2 is then painted in white paint.
- the composite picture shown in Figure 12 includes two primary colours (i.e. blue and red) as well as white and black.
- the two patterns 1 and 2 may therefore be displayed alternately in blue and red, respectively, to produce independent patterns by alternately subjecting the composite picture to the primary colours blue and red.
- a bird On a black background a bird may be painted with a white body and two pairs of wings in different flight positions. One pair is painted red while the other is painted blue. If this picture is then subjected alternately to blue and red coloured light beams a flying bird would be seen with the colour of the bird, including wings, changing alternately from red to blue.
- Degrees of grey can be freely included in the designed patterns and this may be achieved by having the appropriate areas painted with a mixture of either blue or red and grey paint to give the desired degrees of shade for each of the two primary, colour lights.
- hue or green For three independent pattern versions, utilising three primary colours it may be necessary to mix two colours (e.g. red and green with grey).
- variable pattern producing arrangement may be included or added to the variable pattern producing arrangement within the same basic idea of producing independent patterns by primary colours. For example:-
- the present invention is intended primarily for advertisement purposes (e.g. signs) it will be understood that it is applicable to a wide range of uses including the threatre, cinema, education, art, alarms, indicating signs etc.
