1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a stereoscopic posting apparatus for a movie poster and a drama poster, etc., in which 3D images can be viewed without a 3D glass and 3D posters can be exchanged frequently and simply, and mass posting of the posters is possible.
2. Description of the Related Art
In general, a poster for advertising a movie has to be exchanged frequently since a content of movie is changed frequently. Further, the posters are disposed on many places and thus they have to be exchanged easily by some persons who do not have specific knowledge and further mass production and exchanging thereof have to be possible. Specially, 3D movie has to be posted through a 3D poster to advertize efficiently it; however, a 2D poster has been used for advertizing the 3D movie, instead of 3D poster.
Here, as a posting method for advertizing a 3D movie without using a 3D glass, a 3D card may be used; however, 3D images themselves have to be printed on a rear surface of a lenticular plate to use the 3D card. Further, in the 3D card posting manner, a lens pitch distance of the lenticular plate has to correspond to a distance between left image and right image of 3D image and the 3D image has to be adhered to a rear surface of the lenticular plate without distance and thus the left and right image of the 3D image have to be printed on a rear surface of the lenticular plate.
Here, referring an image printing method or combining method to a lenticular plate itself, there arises a problem in that the lenticular plate is to be disposable and thus it cannot be reused, Further, a cost of the lenticular plate is high. Accordingly, it cannot be used for a movie poster where a picture thereof is large and a large amount has to be displayed and further it has to be exchanged frequently whenever the contents of the movie is changed on a many places.
Further, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,210,257, it has been disclosed that a picture is adhered to a lenticular plate using a vacuum pump wherein it is only a kind of a device showing two pictures in a state of the lenticular plate being moved and thus it is not a sowing device for a 3D movie. Furthermore, the device as described in the forgoing is complicated configuration and picture exchanging process is not simple and thus it cannot be applicable to a movie poster where a picture has to be exchanged frequently.
In U.S. Pat. No. 7,312,923, two pictures are viewed in parallel through a lens sheet over a bearing configuration while they are moved leftward and rightward; however, it cannot be applicable to 3D image and further cannot be used as a 3D movie poster where a picture can be exchanged easily and simply and a large amount of posters has to be exchanged.
In US Patent Publication No. 2010/018621, a lens sheet is moved leftward and rightward through a motor or a actuate elastic element to show two pictures; however, it cannot be applicable to a 3D image and cannot be used as a 3D poster where poster where a picture can be exchanged easily and simply and a large amount of posters has to be exchanged.
According to the configurations of a prior art as described in the forgoing, pictures are moved to show two pictures on a poster or pictures are fixed through complicated structure and thus they cannot be applicable to 3D image or used as a posting device of 3D image.
An aspect of the present invention is directed to a picture changeable stereoscopic posing apparatus in which only the picture is replaced without changing a lenticular plate and thereby mass-replacing 3D posters.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a picture changeable stereoscopic posing apparatus in which lens pitch of the lenticular plate corresponds to an interval of the 3D picture and thus anyone can replace the 3D picture and display simply 3D images.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to a picture changeable stereoscopic posing apparatus in which 3D picture can be mass-produced.
Still yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to a picture changeable stereoscopic posing apparatus through which 3D mobile image can be viewed, together with the printed 3D image.
