Abstract
A multi colored image is applied to one face of a flat screen, the opposite face being of uniform dark color. The screen itself is made of opaque, intersecting, parallel filaments delimiting four sided openings. The width of the filaments of the two sets is about 1mm, and 0.5mm respectively.
The image is applied to the filaments only so that light may pass through the screen openings. A velcro system secures the image bearing screen onto a glass panel, such as a store window with the image facing the outside of the store to form an advertising sign which is not visible from the inside of the store. The screen also serves as a sun shade. The paint to form the image is applied to the screen with a hand held spray gun, following the intended computer generated image projected on the screen. Preferably, instead of a spray gun, the computer controls an ink jet printer having three ink nozzles travelling along x-y coordinates in a plane parallel to the screen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIM~NT
The screen in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in figures 4 and 5 being indicated at 2. It is made of a thermoplastic, preferably nylon, and consistS of two sets of parallel filaments intersecting at right angles and delimiting four sided openings, preferably rectangular openings.
The filaments of the two sets are flattened as shown in figure 5. Filaments 4 of one set have a width of about lmm while filaments 6 of the other set have a width of 0.5mm. The openings 8 deliminated by the filaments 4 and 6 have a width of 2mm and a length of 2.5mm. The screen is reinforced by bracing filaments 10 which are thinner than filaments 6 and which connect in each opening 8 the filaments of the two sets at 45 degrees to these filaments. Bracing filaments 10 positively maintain the filaments of the two sets at right angles to each other. The preferred material is known in the trade as nylon open mesh 100.
The screen filaments are opaque and have a dark color, preferably black. It has been found that acrylic paint firmly adheres to the screen filaments. In accordance with the present invention, there are two methods of applying the image to the screen. The first method is partly manual and comprises the following steps:
The image is created by the designer, the image being generated in a computer and visible on a computer controlled video monitor. The computer then operates a computer controlled printer shown at 12 in figure 1 which prints the created image 16 on a transparent acetate sheet 14. As shown in figure 2, the image 16 is projected by a projector 18 at the required dimensions onto the screen 2 which is hung on a wall or the like. Then, using a manually held, conventional spray gun 20 as shown in figure 3, white acrylic paint 22 is applied to the screen filaments 4 and 6 at one main face thereof so as to cover the entire projected image and in accordance with its contour.
The paint spray is directed at right angles to the screen so that only the front face of the screen is coated as shown in figure 5. Once paint 22 is dried, the areas of different colors of the image projected by the projector 18 are delimited by a manually held felt pen, not shown, so as to define a contour for each area of a particular color and of another color than white.
Then, each of so delimited areas are separately painted by spray gun 20 using acrylic paint of the color projected on the screen.
Figures 6 and 7 show the contour line 24 produced by a felt pen and delimiting areas 26, 28 and 30 of different uniform colors and composing the image 16. In these figures, the initially applied white paint coating 22 appears as a frame for the colored areas 26, 28 and 30 composing the image 16.
Even if care is taken to apply the paint at right angles to the plane of screen 2, it may happen that paint may accidentally splash onto the back face of the screen 2; if this ~ 1 0 happens, the screen is spaced from the wall and a black paint is applied with a spray gun to the back face of the screen with the paint directed at right angles to the plane of the screen as schematically indicated in figure 8, this to insure that the back face of the screen remains black, or at least has a dark color with the image printed on the front face entirely invisible from the back face of the screen.
The image bearing screen 2, which may have a size of for instance 3m x 4m, can be secured to the inside or the outside of a store display window 32 or the like, with the image 16 visible from the outside of the store but not from the inside. Preferably, screen 2 is secured to store window 32 by means of velcro patches 34, the female and male pieces of which adhering to the corners of the screen 2 and to the window 32 respectively. It is not necessary to secure the screen 2 other that along its periphery.
Referring to figure 9, it is seen that the persons standing within the store and looking outside through the screen 2 will see the street scenery 36, as examplified by a passer-by 38 and houses 40.
Figure 10 shows that from the outside of the window, the image 16 on screen 2 is obviously clearly visible under the 2197~10 light of the sun 42. At night, part of the image can be illuminated by a spot-light 44 (Figure 11) and the scenery 46 inside the store can be visible through the window 32 and through the screen 2 when the store is illuminated from the inside.
Since image 16 applied to screen 2 only coats the outside surface of the screen filaments 14, 16 and 10, since openings 8 remain entirely free of any paint and since the filaments are opaque, it is obvious that the image is not visible from the back face of the screen and that the screen serves as a sun shade leaving about only half of the sunlight therethrough.
Whenever a particular image is no longer required, the image applying procedure can be repeated by coating the original image with white paint and applying a fresh image onto the same by the method above described.
It is also contemplated to use another faster method for applying the image to the screen. The image is generated in a computer as above described and the finalized image instead of being printed on a transparent acetate sheet and then projected on the screen is fed by the computer directly to a computer controlled ink jet printer having an ink jet nozzle travelling along x-y coordinates and emitting a computer controlled ink jet at right angles to the screen so as to coat the screen filaments to produce the image 16.
If the image to be applied to the screen is composed of adjacent zones of different uniform colors, screen coating by the ink jet printer will be effected in several passes using each time an ink of the required color for any particular zone.
It is also possible to produce an image with different color shades using jet inks of the three primary colors.
The image bearing screen of the invention can be used to display an image such as advertising in the window of any type of stores, restaurants, super markets, banks, hotels, motels, also in shopping centres and also on vehicles, such as buses, taxi cabs, suburban trains, delivery vehicles, etc.
The present invention relates to an image bearing screen to be secured to a vehicle or a building window, with the image visible outside while exterior light may enter the vehicle or building through the screen.

As shown in figure 2, the image 16 is projected by a projector 18 at the required dimensions onto the screen 2 which is hung on a wall or the like. Then, using a manually held, conventional spray gun 20 as shown in figure 3, white acrylic paint 22 is applied to the screen filaments 4 and 6 at one main face thereof so as to cover the entire projected image and in accordance with its contour.
The paint spray is directed at right angles to the screen so that only the front face of the screen is coated as shown in figure 5. Once paint 22 is dried, the areas of different colors of the image projected by the projector 18 are delimited by a manually held felt pen, not shown, so as to define a contour for each area of a particular color and of another color than white.
