Abstract

A lenticular method is known as method for forming stereoscopic images or animated images on a lenticular plate. This method uses a film as an aggregate element having a plurality of lenses provided with almost semi-cylindrical extrusions (circular extrusions). This invention relates to the image formation on a recording medium (lenticular plate) of a lenticular type. With the provision of a device for detecting relative misregisteration between images and the lenses constituting the lenticular plate, and a device for positioning the images and lenses, extra work and costs are saved. Also, with simple structures on both recording apparatus and plate sides, the formation of high quality stereoscopic images or animated images is materialized.
