Abstract

The surface has a set of superimposed identical cylinder lenses (C1, C2, Cn), and interlaced image bands (i1, i5, i8) arranged on lower surfaces of the lenses. The diameter of the lenses is 0.5 millimeters, and the length of the lenses is 50 centimeters. The image bands are parallel to each other and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the lenses, where the sum of widths of the image bands is equal to half of perimeter of a circular section of one of the lenses.

Description

10 15 20 25 30 2900742 -1- La présente invention se rapporte à une surfaceThe present invention relates to a surface

lenticulaire qui permet, suivant les angles d'observation, de visualiser séparément plusieurs images entrelacées. Les surfaces lenticulaires existantes utilisées pour visualiser séparément plusieurs images entrelacées sont formées d'une juxtaposition de lentilles de forme demi cylindrique. Les bandes images entrelacées sont imprimées sur les faces planes des lentilles demi cylindriques au niveau du plan focal de celles-ci. Pour visualiser la séquence des différentes images entrelacées l'observation doit se faire dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal des lentilles et les angles de vision sont au maximum de 25 de part et d'autre de la normale à la surface lenticulaire. En effet pour des angles de vision supérieurs à 25 la vision se repositionne sur les bandes images entrelacées de la lentille adjacente. La présente invention permet d'observer la séquence des différentes images entrelacées avec des angles de vision, placés dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal des lentilles, qui pourront s'étendre jusqu'à 80 de par et d'autre de la normale à la surface. Une variante permet l'observation d'une séquence d'images entrelacées jusqu'à des angles de vision de 80 degrés par rapport à l'axe normal de la surface lenticulaire et ce quelque soit la position de l'observateur autour de cet axe. La surface lenticulaire selon l'invention est constituée d'une juxtaposition de lentilles cylindriques identiques et parallèles entre elles (C1, C2, Cn). Au moins deux bandes images entrelacées (il ... i5... i8) sont imprimées sur les surfaces demi cylindriques qui constituent un des côtés de la surface lenticulaire. Ces bandes images sont parallèles entre elles et parallèles à l'axe longitudinal des lentilles cylindriques. Aux différents angles de vision (Al ...A5...A8) correspondent les bandes images entrelacées (il...i5...i8) imprimées sur la surface demi cylindrique opposée à l'observateur. Les bandes images étant placées à l'opposé de l'observateur par rapport à l'axe central de la lentille cylindrique et en -2- surface de celle-ci, les lois de l'optique géométrique montrent que ces bandes images sont proches du plan focal de la lentille, ce qui permet une observation sélective des images suivant l'angle de vision. Les angles de vision qui permettent d'observer l'ensemble des images (il ...i5 ...i8) peuvent prendre des valeurs comprises entre 0 et 80 de part et d'autre de l'axe normal (N) à la surface lenticulaire. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation certaines bandes images sont transparentes (i5), ce qui permet de laisser passer la totalité des rayons lumineux correspondants à l'angle de vision associé (A5).  Lenticular lens which allows, according to the angles of observation, to visualize separately several interlaced images. The existing lenticular surfaces used to separately view several interlaced images are formed of a juxtaposition of semi-cylindrical lenses. The interlaced image bands are printed on the flat faces of the semi-cylindrical lenses at the focal plane thereof. To visualize the sequence of the different interlaced images the observation must be made in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the lenses and the viewing angles are at most 25 on either side of the normal to the lenticular surface. Indeed, for viewing angles greater than 25 the vision is repositioned on the interlaced image bands of the adjacent lens. The present invention makes it possible to observe the sequence of the different interlaced images with viewing angles, placed in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the lenses, which can extend up to 80 degrees on either side of the normal on the surface. A variant allows the observation of a sequence of interlaced images up to viewing angles of 80 degrees with respect to the normal axis of the lenticular surface and whatever the position of the observer around this axis. The lenticular surface according to the invention consists of a juxtaposition of identical cylindrical lenses parallel to each other (C1, C2, Cn). At least two interlaced image bands (il ... i5 ... i8) are printed on the half-cylindrical surfaces which constitute one of the sides of the lenticular surface. These image bands are parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical lenses. At different viewing angles (Al ... A5 ... A8) correspond the interlaced image bands (il ... i5 ... i8) printed on the semi-cylindrical surface opposite to the observer. Since the image bands are placed opposite to the observer with respect to the central axis of the cylindrical lens and in the surface thereof, the laws of geometrical optics show that these image bands are close to the focal plane of the lens, which allows a selective observation of the images according to the angle of vision. The viewing angles that make it possible to observe all the images (il ... i5 ... i8) can take values between 0 and 80 on either side of the normal (N) axis at the lenticular surface. According to a particular embodiment, certain image bands are transparent (i5), which makes it possible to let all the corresponding light rays pass through the associated angle of vision (A5).

Selon une variante la surface lenticulaire (S) est constituée d'une juxtaposition de lentilles sphériques identiques (B1 ,B2.. Bn). Au moins deux zones images entrelacées (FI, F2) sont imprimées sur les surfaces demi sphériques qui constituent un des côtés de la surface lenticulaire. Ces zones images peuvent prendre des formes quelconques. Aux différents angles de vision (01, 02) correspondent les zones images entrelacées (FI, F2) imprimée sur la surface demi sphérique opposée à l'observateur. Les zones images étant placées à l'opposée de l'observateur par rapport au centre des lentilles sphériques et en surface de celles-ci, les lois de l'optique géométrique montrent que ces zones images sont proches du plan focal de la lentille ce qui permet une observation sélective des images suivant l'angle de vision. Les angles de vision qui permettent d'observer l'ensemble de la séquence d'images peuvent prendre des valeurs comprises entre 0 et 80 de part et d'autre de l'axe normal (N) à la surface lenticulaire, quelque soit la position de l'observateur autour de cet axe. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, non illustré, certaines zones images sont transparentes, ce qui permet de laisser passer la totalité des rayons lumineux correspondants à l'angle de vision associé. Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention.30 -3- La figure 1 représente une surface lenticulaire formée d'une juxtaposition de lentilles cylindriques identiques Cl, C2, Cn parallèles entre elles. La face inférieure est imprimée, sur chaque lentille, d'une succession de bandes images entrelacées (il ... i5... i8) parallèles à l'axe longitudinal des lentilles. La figure 2 représente en coupe transversale trois lentilles cylindriques identiques juxtaposées et parallèles entre elles (C1, C2 , Cn). Seules les bandes images (il, i5, i8) de la lentille C2 ont été représentées. Chaque bande image est visualisée séparément par un observateur placé sous des angles de vision Al ... A5... A8 par rapport à la normale (N) à la surface lenticulaire. Pour exemple l'angle Al vaut 85 , l'angle A5 vaut 20 et l'angle A8 vaut 45 . La bande image i5 est, pour exemple, transparente, ce qui permet une vision transparente au travers de la lentille pour un observateur dont l'angle de vision correspondant vaut A5. La figure 3 représente une juxtaposition de lentilles sphériques identiques (B1, B2, Bn) formant une surface de forme quelconque (S). La figure 4 représente en trois dimensions 3 lentilles sphériques identiques juxtaposées (B1, B2, Bn). Seules les zones images FI, F2 de la lentille B2 ont été représentées. Chaque zone image entrelacée (FI, F2) est visualisée séparément par un observateur placé sous des angles de vision correspondants 01, 02 par rapport à la normale (N). A titre d'exemple non limitatif la surface lenticulaire cylindrique est carrée et mesure 50 cm de côté. Le diamètre des lentilles est de 0,5 mm et leur longueur est de 50 cm, ce qui fait une juxtaposition de 1000 lentilles en parallèle. La face inférieure de chaque lentille est imprimée de 9 bandes images parallèles de couleurs différentes dont la somme des largeurs est égale au demi périmètre de la section circulaire d'une lentille, soit 0,78 mm.  According to a variant, the lenticular surface (S) consists of a juxtaposition of identical spherical lenses (B1, B2 .. Bn). At least two interlaced image areas (FI, F2) are printed on the half-spherical surfaces that form one of the sides of the lenticular surface. These image areas can take any form. At different viewing angles (01, 02) correspond the interlaced image areas (F1, F2) printed on the semi-spherical surface opposite to the observer. Since the image zones are placed opposite the observer with respect to the center of the spherical lenses and at the surface thereof, the laws of geometrical optics show that these image zones are close to the focal plane of the lens, which allows a selective observation of the images according to the angle of vision. The viewing angles that make it possible to observe the entire sequence of images can take values between 0 and 80 on either side of the normal axis (N) to the lenticular surface, whatever the position of the observer around this axis. According to a particular embodiment, not shown, some image areas are transparent, which allows to let all the light rays corresponding to the associated angle of vision. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention. FIG. 1 shows a lenticular surface formed by a juxtaposition of identical cylindrical lenses C1, C2, Cn parallel to one another. The lower face is printed on each lens, a succession of interlaced image bands (il ... i5 ... i8) parallel to the longitudinal axis of the lenses. FIG. 2 represents in cross section three identical cylindrical lenses juxtaposed and parallel to each other (C1, C2, Cn). Only the image bands (11, 15, 18) of the lens C2 have been represented. Each image band is viewed separately by an observer placed under viewing angles A1 ... A5 ... A8 with respect to the normal (N) at the lenticular surface. For example the angle Al is 85, the angle A5 is 20 and the angle A8 is 45. The image band i5 is, for example, transparent, which allows a transparent vision through the lens for an observer whose corresponding viewing angle is A5. FIG. 3 represents a juxtaposition of identical spherical lenses (B1, B2, Bn) forming a surface of any shape (S). FIG. 4 represents in three dimensions 3 identical spherical lenses juxtaposed (B1, B2, Bn). Only the image areas F1, F2 of the lens B2 have been represented. Each interlaced image zone (FI, F2) is viewed separately by an observer placed under corresponding viewing angles 01, 02 with respect to the normal (N). By way of nonlimiting example, the cylindrical lenticular surface is square and measures 50 cm on the side. The diameter of the lenses is 0.5 mm and their length is 50 cm, which makes a juxtaposition of 1000 lenses in parallel. The lower face of each lens is printed with 9 parallel image bands of different colors whose sum of widths is equal to half the perimeter of the circular section of a lens, ie 0.78 mm.

Suivant une variante, et à titre d'exemple non limitatif, la surface lenticulaire sphérique est carrée et mesure 50 cm de côté. Le diamètre -O-des lentilles est de 0,5 mm ce qui fait une juxtaposition de 10.000 lentilles. La face inférieure de chaque lentille est imprimée de 2 zones images circulaires de couleurs différentes de 0,10 mm de diamètre. La surface lenticulaire suivant l'invention est particulièrement destinée à observer des images entrelacées jusqu'à des angles de visions de 160 degrés.  According to a variant, and by way of nonlimiting example, the spherical lenticular surface is square and measures 50 cm side. The diameter -O-lenses is 0.5 mm which is a juxtaposition of 10,000 lenses. The underside of each lens is printed with 2 circular image zones of different colors 0.10 mm in diameter. The lenticular surface according to the invention is particularly intended to observe interlaced images up to viewing angles of 160 degrees.
