Abstract: An illuminated display device with a base member representing an eye and having a primary cavity therein, usually existing as a pair of devices to represent two eyes. Thin walls within the primary cavity divide it into multiple chambers, wherein each chamber has a unique shape and volume that represents a view of a unique emotive response in an eye. Illumination devices are placed in each unique thin-walled chamber shape to emit light in a pattern from the chamber volume through a top opening of the cavity. Lighting all illumination devices equally imitates an open eye, while illuminating the volume of one or more unique chamber shapes at OFF or lesser brightness than the volume in other chambers creates a negative space, giving the illusion that the eye has changed shape to equal the shape in the brightly lit chambers only. The device can thus imitate the changing shapes in an eye shown when expressing emotion and the device is capable of exhibiting eight or more distinct emotive responses.

Thin walls within the primary cavity divide it into multiple chambers wherein each chamber has a shape and volume that represents a view of a different, unique emotive response in an eye.

Lighting all illumination devices equally imitates an open eye while illuminating the volume of one or more chambers at OFF or lesser brightness than the volume in other chambers creates the illusion that the eye has changed shape to equal the shape in the brightly lit chambers only. The device can thus imitate the changing shapes in an eye when expressing emotion. A speaker can emit sounds in synchronization with a pattern of illumination to enhance the emotive effect.

Abstract: An illuminated display contained within a translucent container that employs flat fiber optic material as the primary illuminated design. When this material is illuminated at its base edge and the illumination is optionally programmed, light then travels to and is emitted all along its cut top edge, resulting in a clear “line of light” display that appears to exist in space, unattached from any other material and evokes a specific desired effect within the translucent container, including the effect of a specific ephemeral phenomenon. The illuminated display effect is often strengthened by adding one or more additional displays to the translucent container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to illumination display(s) and/or communication devices. The device may contain one (1) or more lights and/or light emitting members, which may be arranged in certain configuration(s) to simulate Body Parts, other parts, and/or Accessories in or on humans, animals, objects, things, Fantasy Creatures or characters or things. The lights and/or light emitting members may illuminate in patterns in response to internal or external signal(s), such as sound(s), or music, or audio, phrases, and/or words. The lights and/or light emitting members in the eye and mouth complexes may illuminate in patterns to simulate crying in humans, animals, objects, things, creatures, Fantasy Creatures, characters, and/or things, as well as other eye, mouth or other movement(s) displayed by humans, animals, objects, things, creatures, Fantasy Creatures, fantasy characters, and/or fantasy things when feeling different kind of emotions, such as happiness, excitement, painfulness, anger, and/or sadness.

Abstract: An illuminated display device with a base member with a plurality of cavities therein. Illumination devices illuminate the cavities and emit light through an opening of the cavities in a pattern, and a speaker can emit sounds in synchronization with the pattern. A panel with translucent portions can overly the base member and the cavities. An animated talking character can have an animated mouth cavity complex with multiple predetermined mouth lighting configurations simulative of human utterances. The cavities can be open, or optical waveguide material or positive members can be disposed therein. Reflective material can enhance internal reflectance and light emission.
