  • Publication number: 20180045972
    Abstract: An aerial display includes a first display layer and a second display layer formed thereon. The first display layer includes first strips stacked and extending along a first direction. Each two adjacent first strips define an air gap. The second display layer includes second strips stacked and extending along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Each two adjacent second strips define an air gap. A refractive index of each of the first strips and the second strips is greater than that of the air gap, thereby causing light entering the light incident surface with an incident angle to be totally reflected by a contacting surface of each of the plurality of first strips and an adjacent air gap, or/and a contacting surface of each of the plurality of second strips and an adjacent air gap.
