The invention represents an enhancement of a well known product, usually called "lenticular screen", which is now in the public domain. It provides for a new way of organizing the lenses (they are now spherical instead of cylindrical) and constructing the interlaced image, which leads to 2 important advantages:
The number of images is increased 1.5 to 3 times .
Compare the two images shown.  On top, its the Popims Lenticular Screen, with spherical lenses, and below its the prior art array of cylindrical lenses.
 On both diagrams, you can see red areas on the back side of the screen, figuring the pixels zones corresponding to one image of the animation.
The brown zone on the side of each red zone shows the available space for additionnal images. With the cylindrical lenses, its limited to the width of the lense, while such limitation does not apply to Popims Screens.
The spectator may view the film not only by moving horizontally around the screen but also vertically. This is a very significant advantage for many advertising, merchandizing, packaging or home decoration applications.
