  • Patent number: 11796162
    Abstract: Multichambered illuminated decorative displays are presented that can be fabricated in various forms, including annular shapes suitable for holiday exhibition as wreaths and trees. The decorative displays, which may be packaged as kits, include an at least one frame (20); a plurality of translucent chambers (44) mounted to the at least one frame (20); a plurality of addressable LEDs (30) positioned so that at least one LED resides within each chamber; and a plurality of translucent to opaque partitions (46) located between adjacent chambers. As the LEDs (30) light up, the chambers (44) appear to emit a diffuse glow. Simultaneously, the partitions (46) at least reduce or completely block the light transmitted between adjacent chambers (44). Due in part to this combination of light transmission, light diffusion, and at least partial light confinement, the decorative displays can present a wide variety of precisely rendered animations in vivid colors.

  • Patent number: 11346510
    Abstract: An assemblable display that can be arranged into different formations, including conical-like shapes suitable for exhibition as artificial Christmas trees. The display, which may be packaged as a kit, includes a center post, an LED strip lighting system, and a plurality of translucent panels with interiors that comprise one or more hollow chambers. The LED strips are affixed to the outer surface of the center post in a pattern configured to shine light in outward directions along a length of the center post. Each hollow-chambered panel includes a hole through which the panel is mounted over the center post and affixed LED strips. When the LED strips are illuminated, the display appears to glow in a broad spectrum of colors, brightness levels, and animated lighting effects.
