1. A light panel display apparatus, comprising: an upright panel assembly comprising a primary panel having a substantially smooth primary panel first face, and a primary panel second face with at least one light distributing irregularity;a diffusing panel, having substantially smooth diffusing panel inward face and substantially smooth a diffusing panel outward face, said diffusing panel being positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to and in abutting relation with the primary panel second face; a translucent first image sheet having a first image and positioned substantially parallel to and abutting said primary panel first face and a translucent second image sheet having a second image and positioned substantially parallel to and abutting said diffusing panel outward face;a cover sheet structure for structurally holding together upper ends of said primary panel, diffusing panel and image sheets such that they are held in abutting contact and gravity does not bow and fan them apart over time and for protecting said image sheets from mechanical damage and staining, said cover sheet structure having generally an inverted U-shape with a first cover sheet section extending over said first image sheet, and a second cover sheet section extending over said second image sheet, and a cover sheet connecting portion connecting to said first cover sheet-section at a first corner fold and connecting-to said second cover sheet section at a second corner fold, thereby spacing said first cover sheet section from said second cover, sheet section a distance substantially matching the combined width of panels and image sheets to be contained within said cover sheet structure, the panel assembly having a -panel assembly upper end and a panel assembly lower end;wherein said primary panel, said diffusing panel, said first cover sheet section and said second cover sheet section are one of translucent and transparent; and a base assembly comprising a generally horizontally extending base member with an upwardly opening panel assembly receiving slot into which said panel assembly lower end is removably fitted such that said panel assembly is retained in an upright position, a lighting circuit comprising a light source positioned and oriented to radiate light into an edge of said panel assembly of sufficient intensity to illuminate said panel assembly, and an electric power source. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said slot comprises an internal engaging recess and wherein at least one of said cover sheet sections comprises an outwardly protruding engaging bulge for releasable snap engagement into said engaging recess to releasably secure said panel assembly into said panel assembly receiving slot. 3. The apparatus of claim 1. wherein said lighting circuit comprises an off/on switch. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said light source comprises a series of light emitting diodes distributed within said panel assembly receiving slot and joined together as part of a light emitting diode bar. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said base member comprises a housing containing a base member chamber and having a housing bottom wall with a battery access door, an inwardly beveled housing front wall and an inwardly beveled housing back wall, both for mounting and displaying visible indicia, upright housing side walls, a, housing top wall and upright slot walls bordering and defining the panel assembly receiving slot such that said assembly receiving slot has a depth sufficient to retain the light emitting diode bar and also receive and securely mount said panel assembly lower end. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said base member chamber is bifurcated into a a power chamber for retaining batteries and accessible through said battery access door, and a circuit chamber for containing circuit wiring and elements. 7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said lighting circuit comprises an off/on switch and said housing comprises a housing top wall, wherein said light emitting diode bar is retained within said assembly receiving slot and above the base member chamber, and a light circuit wire extends downwardly through said housing top wall from said light emitting diode bar to said on/off switch to and from there to said power source. 8. The apparatus of claim 1. wherein said base member is hollow to define an internal chamber containing said lighting circuit, and said power source comprises a battery. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said at least one light distributing irregularity comprises at least one light distributing groove. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said primary panel second face has a lower end and an upper end, and wherein said at least one light distributing groove comprises a series of substantially horizontal light distributing grooves extending generally from the lower end to the upper end of said primary panel second face for redistributing light intensity evenly throughout said primary panel to fully illuminate said images. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein said light distributing grooves in said series become progressively closer from the lower end to the upper end of said primary panel second face to more evenly distribute light intensity throughout said primary panel. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said primary panel has a minimum thickness of substantially one sixteenth inch. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said diffusing panel has a minimum thickness of substantially one thirty-second inch. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said cover sheet is transparent to maximize the visibility of said first image and said second image. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein said first image sheet is positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to said primary panel first face, and additionally comprising a second image sheet having a second image and being substantially parallel and adjacent to said diffusing panel outward face. 16. A light panel display apparatus, comprising: an upright panel assembly comprising a primary panel having a substantially smooth primary panel first face and a primary panel second face with at least one light distributing irregularity;a diffusing panel, having substantially smooth diffusing panel inward face and substantially smooth a diffusing panel outward face, said diffusing panel being positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to with said primary panel second face; a translucent first image sheet having a first image and positioned substantially parallel and adjacent to said primary panel first face and a translucent second image sheet having a second image and being substantially parallel and adjacent to said diffusing panel outward face;a cover sheet structure for structurally holding together upper ends of said primary panel, diffusing panel and image sheets such that they are held in abutting contact and gravity does not bow and fan them apart over time and for protecting said image sheets from mechanical damage and staining, said cover sheet structure having generally an inverted U-shape with a first cover sheet section extending over said first image sheet and a second cover sheet section extending over said second image sheet, and a cover sheet connecting portion connecting to said first cover sheet section at a first corner fold and connecting to said second cover sheet section at a second corner fold, thereby spacing said being sized to space ‘said first cover sheet section from said second cover sheet section a distance substantially matching the combined width of panels and image sheets to be contained within said cover sheet structure, the panel assembly having a panel assembly upper end and a panel assembly lower end; wherein said primary panel, said diffusing panel, ‘said first cover sheet section and said second cover sheet section are one of translucent and transparent; and a base assembly comprising a generally horizontally extending base member with a panel assembly receiving slot into which said panel assembly is removably fitted such that said panel assembly is retained in, a lighting circuit comprising a light source positioned and oriented to radiate light into an edge of said panel assembly of sufficient intensity to illuminate said panel assembly, and an electric power source. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein said slot comprises an internal engaging recess and wherein at least one of said cover sheet sections comprises an outwardly protruding engaging bulge for releasable snap engagement into said engaging recess to releasably secure said panel assembly into said panel assembly receiving slot.
