Partition system for image displays

Claim 2

An image display system comprising an image display device having a viewable screen and selectively controllable whereby at least two sets of information are presented to at least two different areas on said screen, means for controlling said image display device to present one set of information to one area backwards and another set of information to another area upside down on said screen, a louvered film positioned over said screen of said display device and having louvers for restricting the viewing angle in a direction normal to said screen, and at least one pair of mirrors positioned at an angle with respect to each other and said louvered film so that one mirror reflects said one set of information presented at said one of said areas forwards for observation from one direction without reflecting said another set of information at said another area and the other mirror reflects said another set of information at said another area right side up for observation from an opposite direction without reflecting said one set of information at said one area.

Claim 3

The image display system of claim 1 wherein said sets of information are lines of characters and the top and bottom lines displayed at said one area are at the top and bottom of said one area and the top and bottom lines displayed at said another area are at the bottom and top of said another area.

Claim 4

The image display system of claim 1 wherein said means for controlling said image display device presents discrete images sequentially to form said sets of information at said one and another areas of said screen.

Claim 5

An image display system comprising an image display device having a viewable screen and selectively controllable whereby discrete images are presented at different areas of said screens, means for controlling said image display device to present discrete images at different areas of said screen, and a louvered film positioned over said screen and having louvers corresponding to one of said different areas at one angle to limit the viewing of said one different area to one viewing angle and louvers corresponding to another of said different areas at another angle to limit the viewing of said another different area to another viewing angle.

Claim 6

An image display system comprising an image display device having a viewable screen and selectively controllable whereby discrete images are presented at different areas of said screens, means for controlling said image display device to present discrete images at different areas of said screen, and a louvered film positioned over said screen and having louvers corresponding to one of said different areas at one angle to limit the viewing of said one different area to one viewing angle and louvers corresponding to another of said different areas at another angle to limit the viewing of said another different area to another viewing angle.

Claim 7

An image display system comprising a cathode ray tube having a screen and a beam generating element, horizontal, vertical and wiggle deflection elements for deflecting the beam of said cathode ray tube, a louvered film positioned over said screen and having louvers for restricting the viewing angle in a direction normal to said screen, a pair of mirrors positioned back to back at an angle to form a vertex terminating in close proximity to said louvered film, vertical deflection generator means connected to said vertical deflection element for vertically positioning the beam generated by said beam generating element to predetermined line positions on said screen, horizontal ramp generator means connected to said horizontal deflection elements for deflecting said beam in a horizontal trace and retrace as said vertical deflection generator means position said beam vertically, wiggle ramp generator means connected to said wiggle deflection element for moving said beam up and down as said beam is in a horizontal trace, video generating means connected to said beam generating element and selectively operable to turn said beam on and off, said video generating means, including character generator means and cursor generating means for providing a plurality of turn on and turn off control signals, and control means for controlling said vertical, horizontal and wiggle generating means and said video generating means whereby characters in at least one horizontal line of characters reflected by one of said mirrors are backwards with a cursor formed underneath each character as each character is formed and characters in at least one other line of characters reflected by the other of said mirrors are upsidedown with a cursor formed at the top of each upsidedown character.

Claim 8

An image display system comprising a cathode ray tube having a screen and a beam generating element, horizontal, vertical and wiggle deflection elements for deflecting the beam of said cathode ray tube, a louvered film positioned over said screen and having louvers for restricting the viewing angle in a direction normal to said screen, a pair of mirrors positioned back to back at an angle to form a vertex terminating in close proximity to said louvered film, vertical deflection generator means connected to said vertical deflection element for vertically positioning the beam generated by said beam generating element to predetermined line positions on said screen, horizontal ramp generator means connected to said horizontal deflection elements for deflecting said beam in a horizontal trace and retrace as said vertical deflection generator means position said beam vertically, wiggle ramp generator means connected to said wiggle deflection element for moving said beam up and down as said beam is in a horizontal trace, video generating means connected to said beam generating element and selectively operable to turn said beam on and off, said video generating means, including character generator means and cursor generating means for providing a plurality of turn on and turn off control signals, and control means for controlling said vertical, horizontal and wiggle generating means and said video generating means whereby characters in at least one horizontal line of characters reflected by one of said mirrors are backwards with a cursor formed underneath each character as each character is formed and characters in at least one other line of characters reflected by the other of said mirrors are upsidedown with a cursor formed at the top of each upsidedown character.
