  • Patent number: 7938928
    Abstract: A method and device are described for the reproduction of a certain image, previously digitalized and separated into a number of pixels and optimized into a number of colors below a certain limit, with the help of a specific software application. The method includes the construction of individual colored elements that correspond to each of the colors selected for the image, where these elements or pixels consist of small cubic parts made of glass or similar. The method and the device include the means for extracting said pixels from the individual containers and positioning them sequentially for the formation of successive rows which, placed next to each other, form the desired image. The desired image or mosaic is completed with the support for the pixels made of an appropriate material, where the pixels are bound to each other and/or to the support by means of a process of adhesion or the application of heat in an oven up to the temperature at which the material softens.
