Abstract

Abstract This invention is predicated upon a particular set of components which may be grouped according to a number of permutations each of which has a specific application. <??>A hologram viewing apparatus, an integral direct viewing hologram device and an article useful in the manufacture of hologram devices are provided by this invention. <??>The hologram viewing apparatus comprises a housing (20) enclosing a light source (21) which illuminates a screen located in or on a wall of the housing (20), the screen consisting of at least a plane grating (28). <??>The integral direct viewing hologram device comprises a venetian blind film (10) having a hologram (11) embossed on or bonded onto one surface and a plane grating (28) embossed or bonded onto the other surface. The device can be direct viewed in white light and a multi-coloured image can be produced by the provision of a plurality of holograms (11, 12) which are made using different coloured light. <??>The article useful in the manufacture of hologram devices comprises a venetian blind film embossed on one side with a plane grating.
