Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display device for displaying information that changes over time, e.g. a time, a text, a picture story or the like, from a plurality of pieces of information on an image surface of the display device.
  • a book is also a display device that displays a text or a picture story as one of several words or words that are displayed statically in a sequence. represents images.
  • An object of the invention is to specify an alternative display device with which information from a plurality of pieces of information appearing in sequence is displayed.
  • the display device for displaying information from a plurality of pieces of partial information displayed in sequence on a screen of the display device comprises a multiplicity of display panels which each have a fragment of one of the plurality of pieces of partial information on a visible side of the display panel.
  • the multiple display panels are each fastened in a frame such that they can rotate about a central axis that is perpendicular to the viewing side.
  • the several display panels are arranged in at least two mutually parallel image planes.
  • the display boards of one of the at least two image planes are arranged partially overlapping with the display boards of another of the at least two image planes, so that a complete, essentially uninterrupted image surface results in every rotational position of the display boards.
  • the multiple display panels form multiple groups of adjacent display panels, with the groups of adjacent display panels each having a piece of partial information that can be assembled by the fragments of the display panels exhibit. Furthermore, the display panels in the at least two image planes can be rotated synchronously into a plurality of predetermined rotational positions, so that in a respective predetermined rotational position at a predetermined point on the image surface one of the multiple pieces of partial image information is displayed by a group of adjacent display panels.
  • the display device has a large number of rotatably arranged display panels, which are provided with fragments of partial information.
  • the partial information appears at different locations on the screen, which is formed from fragments that are correctly aligned with one another.
  • the remaining pieces of information are barely recognizable or not recognizable because their fragments are not correctly aligned with one another.
  • the display panels rotate synchronously at a predetermined speed, a sequence of partial information results.
  • the image area represents the area of the display panels that is visible from the viewing side.
  • Information has a content that is meaningful for people. The same applies to the partial information, which is composed of fragments - with no or hardly any meaningful content.
  • the information can be a time.
  • the piece of information is then the current hour and minute (or an hour or minute interval), which is composed of fragments of the respective numbers.
  • the piece of information can also be words or individual images of a text, respectively. include picture story.
  • the display device may have three image planes.
  • the display panels may be rotatably driven synchronously, preferably at a uniform speed, clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • the drive can be electrical or mechanical.
  • the direction of rotation of the scoreboards can be different for the image planes.
  • the billboards of a first, foremost image plane and the billboards of a second, middle image plane can be arranged equally in equal rows and in alternating columns, and the billboards of the third, rearmost image plane can be centered in the gaps between the billboards of the first and second image plane be arranged.
  • square display panels result in an uninterrupted image area.
  • the display panels of the first image plane and the display panels of the second image plane can be synchronously driven in the same rotational direction and the display panels of the third image plane can be synchronously driven in the opposite direction. This can be achieved by all the display panels being driven via identical gears, with the gears on the display panels in the first and second image planes engaging in adjacent gears on the display panels in the third image plane.
  • each display board can be provided with at least one fragment of at least one item of partial information of a group of adjacent display boards.
  • a display board can therefore also have several fragments of different pieces of partial information.
  • the display boards can belong to several groups of adjacent display boards and, depending on the rotational position of the display boards, assemble the partial information from the fragments of one or more groups of adjacent display boards.
  • the display panels may have a square viewing area.
  • the scoreboards can also be round or designed as a polygon.
  • the display panels of the first and second image planes may be the same size and the display panels of the third image plane may be smaller than the display panels of the first or second image plane.
  • the size and the arrangement of the display panels are selected in such a way that they can be rotated completely and a complete, essentially uninterrupted image area is produced in every rotational position.
  • the display device can be a clock and the partial image information can indicate the time in predetermined intervals, preferably quarter hours or in five or ten minute steps.
  • a complete revolution of the faces may take twelve hours.
  • the display device can be implemented mechanically. However, it is also possible to simulate the effect of the rotating scoreboards and display them on a screen. Accordingly, the invention also includes a computer program product which simulates the display area composed of display panels of the display device described above and can display it on a screen.
  • FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a display device for displaying information from a plurality of pieces of partial information displayed in sequence on a screen 1 of the display device.
  • no information or partial information is shown in the figures.
  • An example of this is in the Figures 5 to 8 shown.
  • the display device shown has a large number of display panels 10 , 20 , 30 . These are distributed over the entire image surface 1 at regular intervals in three image planes 11, 21, 31.
  • 1 shows the display panels 10 of a first, uppermost image plane 11.
  • 2 additionally shows the display panels 20 of a second, central image plane 21 and the 3 additionally shows the display panels 30 of a third, lowest image plane 31.
  • the display panels 10, 20, 30 have a visible side (the visible side in the figures) and are each mounted such that they can rotate about an axis of rotation A, which is perpendicular to the visible side and is arranged centrally.
  • the display panels 10, 20, 30 have a square visible side and can be made of metal or other materials.
  • the display panels 10 of the first image plane 11 overlap the display panels 20 of the second image plane 21.
  • the display panels 10, 20 of the first and second image planes 11, 21 are arranged alternately in rows and columns.
  • the display panels 30 of the third image plane 31 are arranged under the display panels 10, 20 of the first and second image planes 11, 21 so that they fill the gaps between the rows and columns of the display panels 10, 20 of the first and second image planes 11, 21. In this way, with square display panels 10, 20, 30, the entire screen 1 can be displayed without gaps in any rotational position.
  • the display panels 30 of the third image plane 31 are somewhat smaller than the display panels 10, 20 of the first and second image planes 11, 21, which are of the same size.
  • FIG. 4 shows a schematic representation of the three image planes 11, 21, 31, which are formed by the visible surface of the display panels 10, 20, 30.
  • the respective axes of rotation A of the display panels 10, 20, 30 are also shown.
  • the display panels are designed as thin plates. The storage and the drive for the display panels 10, 20, 30 is not shown.
  • All scoreboards 10, 20, 30 rotate synchronously at the same speed and are symmetrically aligned. They can be driven electrically or mechanically (e.g. in the manner of a clockwork).
  • FIGS Figures 5 to 8 now show an example of a display device from FIGS Figures 1 to 3 , which functions as a clock and can display the current time in hours and minutes in 15-minute intervals.
  • figure 5 again shows the display panels 10 of the first top image level 11.
  • 6 shows the display panels 20 of the second central image plane 21.
  • figures 7 and 8th show the complete screen with the display boards 10, 20, 30 of all screen planes 11, 12, 13.
  • Adjacent display panels 10, 20, 30 of the three image planes 11, 21, 31 form groups which can each display partial information 2, 2', 2" (here the current time).
  • each display panel 10, 20, 30 has a fragment 3 , 3', 3", 3′′′ (here a section of the time shown in numbers) of the partial information 2.
  • the partial information 2 is the time 01:30, which is shown in the enlarged detail in the figures 7 and 8th is shown.
  • the partial information 2' (time 01:15) of another group of adjacent display boards 10, 20, 30 can be seen very indistinctly.
  • the partial information 2" (time 01:45) of another group of adjacent display boards 10, 20, 30 can be seen very vaguely.
  • the display boards 10, 20, 30 can be assigned to several groups and correspondingly also have the fragments 3, 3', 3", 3′′′ of other partial information 2, 2', 2".
  • edge of two display panels of the first and second level is also indicated.
  • display panels 10, 20, 30 are made in such a way that the edges are hardly discernible, so that a uniform appearance results.
  • the partial information 2 (time 01:30) becomes increasingly unclear as the fragments 3, 3', 3", 3′′′ of the partial information 2 move relative to one another.
  • the fragments of the next piece of information 2" will slowly come together to form a recognizable image (time 01:45) (cf. 8 ).
  • the partial information with times from 00:00 to 11:45 are distributed over the entire screen.
  • the movement can be continuous or by fast turning at intervals, in the example of the quarter-hour clock by fast turning every 15 minutes.
