ABSTRACT:
A photograph is held between two panels of a multi-panel display device and viewed through a die cut in an outer panel. The device is formed in such a way that when one or two flaps of one layer are folded toward the other layers, the two sets of layers assume opposite curvatures to provide support for the device. The flaps can be automatically pulled into position by a biasing apparatus. The outer panel can have graphics printed around the die cut in such a way as to give the appearance of interaction between the subject of the photograph and the scene depicted in the graphics. The die cut can be shaped and situated such that the face of a subject of the photograph appears in place of the face of a character depicted in the graphics. The die cut can also follow the outline of a character depicted in the graphics to preserve the integrity of the image while allowing display of the photograph.
