ABSTRACT:
A lateral animation display is carried on a useful article, such as an item of wearing apparel or the like. In one example, a shoe is provided with an integral animated display. An array of light sources is disposed within the shoe. A corresponding array of image frames depicts a stop-action sequence, such as stop-action images of a person running. An optional array of baffles confines light from each of the light sources to a corresponding one of the image frames. The individual light sources are sequentially activated so as to sequentially illuminate the corresponding image frames and thereby present an animated display of the stop-action sequence.
