Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a three-dimensional poster and a method for displaying the three-dimensional poster using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] When promoting a product, posters that display photos or illustrations of the product are displayed in stores to inform customers of the product and promote sales. Note that flat posters are often used for such posters.

[0003] Also, as posters with a higher appealing effect, stereoscopic posters with a 3D effect that utilizes the optical illusion of humans are known. For example, as a stereoscopic poster, a lenticular poster in which the image changes depending on the viewing angle is known. In a lenticular poster, images for the right eye and the left eye are arranged alternately under a convex lens, and when an image is viewed through the lens, only one image is visible depending on the viewing angle, and the image changes depending on the viewing angle. In addition, since a lenticular poster is usually printed on a lenticular plate, the image cannot be changed, but a stereoscopic poster device in which the image can be changed is also known, as in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-181520 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The 3D poster device of Patent Document 1 allows posters to be replaced without replacing the lenticular plate. However, a lenticular poster cannot be effective if the positions of the lens and the poster are misaligned, so there is a problem in that it is time-consuming to fix the poster so that it does not shift.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the problems associated with the conventional inventions, and has an object to provide a three-dimensional poster in which the sheet members constituting the poster can be easily changed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has at least the following configuration or executes the following procedure. In the following description, reference numerals and the like shown in the drawings may be added to facilitate understanding of the present invention, but each component of the present invention is not limited to those shown in the drawings, and should be interpreted broadly to the extent that a person skilled in the art can technically understand.

[0008] A three-dimensional poster according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a transparent plate, a sheet member placed on the back surface of the transparent plate, and a fixing material for fixing the transparent plate and the sheet member, wherein the surface of the transparent plate includes a lens area having a number of hemispherical lenses, and the sheet member is printed with a design corresponding to the lenses. This structure allows the sheet material, which is the poster part, to be easily replaced. Also, the design printed on the sheet material is magnified and refracted by the lens installed on the transparent plate and is reflected by the human eye. This creates a 3D effect, making the poster stand out even more.

[0009] In addition, preferably, the surface of the transparent plate has a smooth area where the lenses are not provided, and when the transparent plate and the sheet member are fixed by the fixing material, the advertising material printed on the sheet member is printed in a position overlapping the smooth area. With this configuration, the advertising material printed on the sheet member can be made more noticeable.

This structure allows the sheet material, which is the poster part, to be easily replaced. Also, the design printed on the sheet material is magnified and refracted by the lens installed on the transparent plate and is reflected by the human eye. This creates a 3D effect, making the poster stand out even more. In addition, since the fixing material contains a magnet, the sheet member can be fixed to the transparent plate simply by fitting it into the upper through hole provided in the transparent plate, and the sheet member can be easily removed when it is time to remove it.

[0011] In addition, preferably, the surface of the transparent plate has a smooth area where the lenses are not provided, and when the transparent plate and the sheet member are fixed by the fixing material, the advertising material printed on the sheet member is printed in a position overlapping the smooth area. With this configuration, the advertising material printed on the sheet member can be made more noticeable.

[0012] In addition, preferably, the size of the lens is in the range of 0.4 to 1.2 mm in diameter and 0.05 to 0.2 mm in height. With this configuration, the 3D effect can be more reliably produced.

[0013] A method of displaying a three-dimensional poster according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a transparent plate, a sheet member to be placed on the back surface of the transparent plate, and a fixing material for fixing the transparent plate and the sheet member, the surface of the transparent plate including a lens area having a number of hemispherical lenses, and the sheet member having a design corresponding to the lenses printed thereon, the method comprising the steps of: placing the sheet member on the back surface of the transparent plate; and fixing the transparent plate and the sheet member with the fixing material. This structure allows the sheet material, which is the poster part, to be easily replaced. Also, the design printed on the sheet material is magnified and refracted by the lens installed on the transparent plate and is reflected by the human eye. This creates a 3D effect, making the poster stand out even more.

[0014] A method for displaying a three-dimensional poster according to one aspect of the present invention includes a transparent plate, a sheet member arranged on a back surface of the transparent plate, a metal frame body arranged on the back side of the sheet member, and a fixing material for fixing the transparent plate and the sheet member, wherein upper through holes are provided at two upper corners of the transparent plate, the surface of the transparent plate includes a lens area in which a number of semi-spherical lenses are provided, a design corresponding to the lenses is printed on the sheet member, the fixing material has a shape in which two cylinders having different diameters, a thin diameter portion and a thick diameter portion, are stacked coaxially, and the thin diameter is formed by stacking the thin diameter portion on the upper a frame body on the rear side of the sheet member; and a method for displaying a three-dimensional poster using a three-dimensional poster in which the transparent plate and the sheet member are fixed to each other by fitting the thin diameter portion of the fixing material into the upper through hole, the thin diameter portion being smaller than the diameter of the upper through hole and the thick diameter being larger than the diameter of the upper through hole, the fixing material including a magnet, the method comprising the steps of: placing a sheet member on the rear side of the transparent plate; placing the frame body on the rear side of the sheet member; and fixing the transparent plate and the sheet member by fitting the thin diameter portion of the fixing material into the upper through hole of the transparent plate. This structure allows the sheet material, which is the poster part, to be easily replaced.

[Figure 4] 1 is a diagram showing a cross section of a lens area 112 of a transparent plate 110 of a stereoscopic poster 100 according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is merely a specific example for carrying out the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view showing each component of the three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention. The three-dimensional poster 100 includes a transparent plate 110, a sheet member 120 arranged on the back surface of the transparent plate 110, a metal frame 130 arranged on the back side of the sheet member 120, and a fixing material 140 for fixing the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120. A large number of hemispherical lenses 111 are provided on the surface of the transparent plate 110, and a lens area 112 is formed by the lenses 111. A design 119 and an advertisement 114 corresponding to the lenses 111 are printed on the sheet member 120. The design 119 is magnified and refracted by the lenses 111 and reflected by the human eye, thereby creating a 3D effect. The transparent plate 110 also has a smooth area 113 where the lenses 111 are not provided, and the smooth area 113 and the advertisement 114 printed on the sheet member 120 are arranged to correspond to each other. Specifically, when the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 are fixed by the fixing material 140, the smooth area 113 and the advertising material 114 printed on the sheet member 120 are arranged to overlap each other. This allows the advertising material 114 to be prominently viewed without being affected by the lens 111. The advertising material 114 is a product or character that is to be introduced.

[0019] An acrylic plate is used as the transparent plate 110. Note that the material of the transparent plate 110 may be polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, glass, or the like. The transparent plate 110 does not have to be completely transparent. Specifically, it may be semi-transparent or colored, and may be in any form as long as it provides a 3D effect and can be viewed.

[0020] A large number of lenses 111 are provided on the surface of transparent plate 110, and the surface has lens area 112 where the large number of lenses 111 are provided and smooth area 113 which is a smooth portion where lenses 111 are not provided. Lenses 111 are formed by gravure printing or screen printing, but are not limited to this.

[0021] The smooth region 113 of the transparent plate 110 is smooth and does not have the lens 111. In addition, when the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 are fixed by the fixing material 140, the advertising material 114 is formed to be located at a position corresponding to the smooth region 113. As a result, the advertising material 114 can be seen without being affected by the lens 111, so that the advertising material 114 can be made more noticeable.

[0022] In this embodiment, the transparent plate 110 has the lens region 112 and the smooth region 113, but the present invention is not limited to this. The lens 111 may be provided on the entire surface of the transparent plate 110, the entire surface may be the lens region 112, and the smooth region 113 may not be provided. In this case, the entire surface of the transparent plate 110 has the 3D effect of the design 119, so that the three-dimensional poster 100 can be more noticeable. Even if the entire surface of the transparent plate 110 is the lens region 112, the advertisement material 114 can be printed on the sheet member 120 in a manner that is not affected by the lens 111 in principle. In this case, since it is not necessary to adjust the positions of the smooth region 113 and the advertisement material 114, the labor can be reduced.

[0023] Through holes are provided at the four corners of the transparent plate 110, and fixing material 140 fits into the two upper through holes 115 on the top side, and screws 117 and 118 having threads are fitted and fixed into the two lower through holes 116 on the bottom side. By using the screws 117 and 118 in the lower through holes 116, the transparent plate 110 is supported more reliably, but fixing material 140 may be used instead of the screws 117 and 118.

[0024] The sheet member 120 is disposed on the back surface of the transparent plate 110, and has a design 119 and advertisements 114 printed on the front surface, which correspond to the lenses 111 of the transparent plate 110. The design 119 is a continuous pattern, such as a checkered pattern, hemp leaf pattern, bar stripe pattern, or a company logo. The design 119 is printed very small so as to correspond to the lenses 111, since it is enlarged by the lenses 111 of the transparent plate 110. The design 119 is printed on one surface of the sheet surface in an array at regular intervals. Here, the design 119 is printed to correspond to the lenses 111, and "printed to correspond" means that the design 119 printed on the sheet member 120 is enlarged and refracted by the lenses 111 and reflected by the human eye, thereby generating a 3D effect.

[0025] The sheet member 120 is made of paper, but is not limited to this, and may be made of PP-treated paper, plastic sheet, Yupo, etc. Also, a plastic plate or the like may be used.

[0026] The frame 130 is disposed on the rear side of the sheet member 120, and is made of metal so that a magnet can be attached to it. Therefore, the fixing member 140 can fix the sheet member 120 to the transparent plate 110 by utilizing a magnetic force.

[0027] 3 is a diagram showing the fixing material 140, the screw 117, and the screw 118 of the three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention. The fixing material 140 has a shape in which two cylinders, a thin diameter part 141 and a thick diameter part 142, which have different diameters, are stacked coaxially, and the thin diameter part 141 is smaller than the diameter of the upper through-hole 115, and the thick diameter part is larger than the diameter of the upper through-hole 115. In addition, since the fixing material 140 includes a magnet, when the thin diameter part 141 fits into the upper through-hole 115 of the transparent plate 110, the frame body 130 is attracted, and the sheet member 120 located between the transparent plate 110 and the frame body 130 is sandwiched and fixed. In addition, the thick diameter part 142 of the fixing material 140 is formed larger than the upper through-hole 115, so that it is fixed in a manner that protrudes toward the surface side of the transparent plate 110, and therefore it is easily removed.

[0028] The fixing material 140 used is one that includes a magnet and has a shape in which two cylinders, a thin diameter portion 141 and a thick diameter portion 142, with different diameters, are stacked coaxially, but is not limited to this, and for example, an adhesive tape or the like may be used as the fixing material. In this case, the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 can be fixed with tape or the like even without the frame 130. In other words, when the fixing material 140 includes a magnet and has a shape in which two cylinders, a thin diameter portion 141 and a thick diameter portion 142, with different diameters, are stacked coaxially, the frame 130 is required, but when the fixing material is fixed with tape or the like, the frame 130 is not required.

[0029] Furthermore, commonly used nails, screws, and the like may be used as the fixing material 140. Furthermore, a frame having a groove may be used as the fixing material 140. In this case, the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 can be fixed by fitting them into the groove. In this case, the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 can be fixed simply by fitting them into the groove, and they can be easily removed when removed, which is preferable since it saves time and effort. In this case, it is preferable to use a plastic plate having a certain thickness as the sheet member 120.

[0030] Furthermore, when using the fixing material 140 in the lower through-hole 116, the diameters of the lower through-hole 116 and the upper through-hole 115 need to be the same. In this case, the sheet member 120 can be fixed by fitting the thin-diameter portion 141 of the fixing material 140 into the lower through-hole 116. Since the fixing material 140 includes a magnet, it is preferable to use the fixing material 140 at the four corners of the through-hole of the transparent plate 110 because the sheet member 120 can be replaced more easily.

[0031] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a cross section of the lens area 112 of the transparent plate 110 of the stereoscopic poster 100 according to the present invention. The lens 111 provided in the lens area 112 has a hemispherical shape, which is a shape like a sphere cut in half. The size of each lens 111 is in the range of 0.4 to 1.2 mm in diameter and 0.05 to 0.2 mm in height. If the size is within the range, the 3D effect is more likely to be produced and the lens 111 is more likely to catch people's attention. The size and pitch of the lenses 111 are determined by the thickness of the transparent plate 110. Specifically, when the thickness of the transparent plate 110 is 5 mm, the diameter of the lenses 111 is selected to be φ1 mm, and the pitch of the lenses 111 is selected to be 1 mm apart. The size of the design 119 printed on the sheet member 120 is not affected by the thickness of the transparent plate 110, so that the size of the design 119 can be selected appropriately at any time.

[0032] Next, a method for displaying the three-dimensional poster 100 using the three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention will be described. The process includes a step of arranging the sheet member 120 on the back surface of the transparent plate 110, a step of arranging the frame body 130 on the back surface of the sheet member 120, and a step of fixing the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 by fitting the thin-diameter portion 141 of the fixing member 140 into the through-hole of the transparent plate 110. In addition, the two lower through-holes 116 on the lower side have the screws 117 and 118 fitted in them, so they must be removed in advance and the sheet member 120 must be replaced before installation.

[0033] Moreover, if tape or the like is used as the fixing material, the tape or the like can be removed and the sheet portion can be replaced. Specifically, after removing the tape or the like, the sheet member 120 can be replaced by a process of placing the sheet member 120 on the back surface of the transparent plate 110 and fixing the transparent plate 110 and the sheet member 120 with tape or the like, and the three-dimensional poster 100 can be displayed.

[0034] As described above, by using the three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a three-dimensional poster 100 in which the sheet member 120, which is a poster portion, can be easily changed.

[0035] The three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention has a 3D effect that utilizes the illusion of human eyes, and is not a three-dimensionally formed poster. Specifically, the design 119 printed on the sheet member 120 is magnified and refracted by the lenses 111 provided in the lens area 112 of the transparent plate 110, and the 3D effect is generated by the appearance of the design 119 to the human eye.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, a stand-type signboard is described, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be used as a wall-mounted signboard. [Industrial Applicability]

[0037] By using the three-dimensional poster 100 according to the present invention, the sheet member 120, which is the poster portion, can be easily changed. Therefore, the poster portion can be easily changed to match the atmosphere of the place where the three-dimensional poster 100 is installed, which is particularly useful when used in a store or the like.
