Abstract: An illuminated display device for displaying an image of a predetermined shape and size is described. An image is placed on an insert of a predetermined size comprised of a medium which has at least some partially transparent or translucent areas. The image-bearing insert is retained by the display device in front of an all-white portion contained upon a generally clear background-bearing medium. The all-white portion has generally the same shape and size as the image-bearing insert. The generally clear medium is at least partially contained in a base also having an illumination source. When on, the illumination source emits light into the generally clear medium which propagates until at least part thereof is diffused by the all-white portion into the image-bearing insert, creating the appearance of highlighting to a viewer. The frame is optionally elevated from the base, giving the display device the appearance of a clear boarder around the frame.

Abstract: A method and system for providing an image for display by an illuminated display device is provided whereby certain areas of the image appear highlighted to a viewer. An illuminated display device for displaying an image on a medium or on a transparency is also provided. The images are modified so that, as displayed, white and/or partially white areas appear as highlighted to a viewer.
