Abstract

Provided is a lenticular display including a lenticular lens including a plurality of columnar convex lenses that each have a semicylindrical surface and are arrayed in parallel and a lenticular image disposed on an opposite side of the convex lenses from the semicylindrical surface. The lenticular image includes an image strip group in which a plurality of image strips for displaying a plurality of display images respectively are arranged in positions for causing the image strips to be displayed through the plurality of convex lenses respectively in a state where a longitudinal direction of the image strips is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the plurality of convex lenses, and in the image strip groups, and a total width of image strips for displaying at least one display image among the plurality of display images is larger than a total width of image strips for displaying another display image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lenticular display comprising:
a lenticular lens including a plurality of columnar convex lenses that each have a semicylindrical surface and are arrayed in parallel; and
a lenticular image disposed on an opposite side of the plurality of columnar convex lenses from the semicylindrical surface,
wherein the lenticular image includes an image strip group in which a plurality of image strips for displaying a plurality of display images respectively are arranged in positions for causing the image strips to be displayed through the plurality of convex lenses respectively, in a state where a longitudinal direction of the image strips is parallel to a longitudinal direction of the plurality of convex lenses, and in the image strip group, a total width of image strips for displaying at least one display image among the plurality of display images is larger than a total width of image strips for displaying another display image.

2. The lenticular display according to claim 1 ,
wherein a relative position of the center of the image strip group, which is displayed through each of the convex lenses, in a width direction deviates from the center of each of the convex lenses in the width direction along the width direction of the plurality of convex lenses.

3. The lenticular display according to claim 2 ,
wherein a ratio of deviation of the relative position of the center of the image strip group in the width direction from the center of each of the convex lenses in the width direction is 10% to 40% of a width of each of the convex lenses.

4. The lenticular display according to claim 2 ,
wherein a ratio of deviation of the relative position of the center of the image strip group in the width direction from the center of each of the convex lenses in the width direction is 16% to 25% of a width of each of the convex lenses.

5. The lenticular display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the number of the plurality of image strips included in the image strip group for one convex lens is equal to or greater than 3 and equal to or smaller than 12.

6. The lenticular display according to claim 1 ,
wherein the image strips having a large total width are arranged in positions including the center of the image strip group in the width direction.
