| 1. A method of fabricating a lenticular display for producing graphical images, comprising:
providing a mounting area in a clear window or door formed of glass with a thickness of at least about 0.125 inches;
determining a thickness and refractive index for the clear window or door at the mounting area;
mounting a lens element in the mounting area on one side of the clear window or door, the lens element comprising a plurality
of lenticules each with a focal point at least through the lens element and the clear window or door with the focal point
being selected based on the thickness and refractive index of the clear window or door; and
mounting an image element in the mounting area on a second side of the clear window or door opposite the lens element, the
image element including an interlaced image printed upon a substrate, wherein a focusing gap of at least the thickness of
the clear window or door is formed between the lenticules and the interlaced image and the interlaced image is positioned
proximate to the focal points of the lenticules;
wherein the interlaced image is mirror printed upon the substrate and the substrate is mounted to the second side of the clear
window or door using a layer of optically transparent adhesive abutting a side opposite to the interlaced image.
