DISPLAY PROVIDED WITH PARTIAL OPTICAL ELEMENT ARRAY, METHOD FOR FORMING PARTIAL OPTICAL ELEMENT ARRAY, AND DISPLAY PRODUCTION SYSTEM
Provided is a thin display with which an optical effect produced by optical elements can be observed, and characters or the like printed in a section other than a place where the optical effect can be observed can be viewed clearly. In this display with which an optical effect produced by optical elements can be observed, an image for interacting with an optical element array (14) to cause the optical effect to appear is formed in a first partial region of a first surface of a main body part. The optical element array (14) is formed on a second surface (12), i.e. the surface at the opposite side to the first surface, in a second partial region corresponding to the first partial region. The optical element array (14) is provided with recessed sections and protruded sections. A non-formation surface (12c) of the second surface (12) is positioned between the lowest points (14d) of the recessed sections and the highest points (14e) of the protruded sections.
The objective is to provide an image display device and a radiation convex lens assembly which work together with an image to produce a visual effect, and which have multiple radially arranged convex lenses. The image display device is configured from a lens layer having multiple convex lenses, and an image-forming layer. For the lens layer the multiple convex lenses are formed radially with a prescribed pitch angle θLENS, and an image for the purpose of working together with the multiple convex lenses to produce a visual effect is formed on the image-forming layer. The lens layer has a prescribed height such that the image-forming layer is positioned in the focal plane of the convex lenses, with a visual effect, on the basis of the convex lenses and the image, being observable from the side of the convex lens having the convex shape.
