Abstract

A display element includes a disk which rotates through 160°-180° to display a bright or a dark side in a viewing direction in ON and OFF positions respectively.
An constantly on LED is arranged to illuminate the disk in ON position for viewing in an first arc including the viewing direction. The disk masks the LED to viewers in the OFF position of the disk. In addition to light from the illuminated disks, the components may be arranged so that viewers over a second arc may view the LED directly when the disk is in ON position. The elements may be arranged in arrays to form a changeable sign. Thus the array may be made up of single elements, of columns of such elements or of a combination of elements and columns.
