A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11886221B2) discloses an innovative image system that includes a display device capable of showing at least one floating image layer on its top surface. The system also features a frame positioned on the display device, partially overlapping it, with an opening that exposes the top surface of the display device. Importantly, the patent claims that the distance from the top surface of the display device to the floating image layer is equal to the distance to the top surface of the frame, ensuring a specific spatial relationship within the system.

Furthermore, the patent details various components and configurations of the image system, such as the use of a display panel with an optical component, including options like a light emitting diode display panel or a liquid crystal display panel. Additionally, the floating image layer can be curved or tilted, with corresponding curved or tilted frames. The system may also incorporate a floating touch sensor aligned with the floating image layer, a tracking camera system for interaction, and a haptic device for tactile feedback. The patent also describes the presence of multiple sub image layers with varying depths relative to the display device's top surface, offering a dynamic visual experience. These detailed claims highlight the complexity and versatility of the image system outlined in the patent.
