Abstract
The invention relates to a display element for the display of a plurality of a colors and a method for their display. For this purpose, the invention teaches a display elementbased on one or more color-producing surfaceswhich can be oriented parallel to the viewing directionof an observer, for example, so that the observer views only the narrow edges of the surfaces. The actual content is perceptible only because a movable reflectoris also provided in which the color-producing surfaceis reflected. The display element claimed by the invention has a particularly good aperture. In the case of static images, the power consumption of the display element is very low. In one preferred embodiment, the display element also makes possible the presentation of a large color space and can be independent of the presence of ambient light.
