ABSTRACT:
A display arrangement for illuminating posters and other non-opaque planar artwork comprising an item of artwork affixed to an essentially transparent mounting member, and a plurality of precisely configured neon light tubes mounted behind the item of artwork. The light tubes are arranged in a predetermined pattern consonant with the subject matter of the artwork, with each of the light tubes being positioned behind a selected portion of the artwork, to illuminate and enhance such selected portion of the artwork when the light tubes are energized. Another aspect of this invention involves the novel method of mounting non-opaque artwork in a frame; creating a plurality of neon light tubes of selected configuration and color for the illumination of the artwork, with each of such light tubes configured to be consonant with the shape of a particular segment of the artwork and arranged to emit an intended color for the illumination of such segment of the artwork; supporting the light tubes in carefully established relationships on the rear side of the artwork, with each tube maintained in an appropriate positional relationship with a respective segment of the artwork to be illuminated; and providing electric power to the light tubes at the appropriate voltage, to bring about the energization of the tubes as well as the illumination of the selected segments of the artwork.
