  • Publication number: 20150184844
    Abstract: An inflatable display with dynamic lighting effect has an inflatable body, an air pump inflating the inflatable body, and a lighting assembly mounted inside the inflatable body for providing dynamic lighting variations. The lighting assembly has a light housing, a power supply, a lighting module, and a refracting module mounted in the light housing. The lighting module and the refracting module rotate relative to each other. As light beams emitted from the lighting module pass through the refracting module, the light beams are mixed and refracted. With relative rotation of the lighting module and the refracting module, the light beams can project outwards to further penetrate through the inflatable body at different angles covering a large area to form the dynamic lighting variations and to exhibit the dynamic lighting effect.

  • Publication number: 20110051097
    Abstract: A slide projector has a case, a lens, a light source, a slide bracket and dynamic effect device. The lens is mounted on a front surface of the case. The light source is mounted on the opposite side to the lens in the case. The slide bracket is mounted between the lens and the light source. The dynamic effect device has a first motor and a first ripple glass. The first ripple glass is mounted between the light source and the slide bracket, and can be driven to rotate by the first motor. Light from the light source passes through the first ripple glass that is rotating. Light refracts and changes with rotation of the first ripple glass so the slide projector can project an image with a dynamic effect.
