Abstract:

A display device is created by utilizing an acrylic sheet (frosted throughout) and an opaque surface or panel. The acrylic sheet or panel is placed substantially parallel to the opaque surface or panel such that the acrylic sheet or panel and the opaque surface or panel are separated by a distance of between 1 and 185 millimeters (0.04 to 7.3 inches). Display items are mounted to the acrylic sheet or panel on side opposite the opaque surface or panel. Shadows cast by the display items or display supports on the acrylic are “absorbed” by the acrylic sheet or panel due to the spacing between the acrylic sheet or panel and the opaque background surface or panel. A method of creating a display device to minimize or eliminate shadows caused by display items or holders is included.
