Display device for articles such as cosmetic products or perfumes

A display device for articles, such as cosmetic products or perfumes, includes a plurality of display elements for articles to be tested, which elements are relatively movable to uncover storage elements located immediatly behind the display elements to thus provide a direct correspondence between the articles to be tested and the stored articles and to impart to the display device a compactness adapted to reduce the bulk of the whole of articles to be tested and stored for sale such as lipsticks, mascara bottles, pots for cosmetic products and various making-up goods.

An electronic system for presenting information relating to products on offer at a place of sale comprises: a central unit; a mass memory containing image sequences respectively associated with products belonging to a given group from amongst the products on offer at the place of sale; a display device; and a bar code or other reader to which a particular item on sale can be presented. The central unit includes a comparator for comparing a product code delivered by a reader with a series of product codes corresponding respectively to the products in the group. The central unit causes the sequence of images associated with the presented item to be run when the product code is contained in the series of product codes, and otherwise it displays a non-correspondence message. The system is particularly applicable to promoting perfumery.
