REPRESENTATION ELEMENT COMPRISING OPTICAL ELEMENTS ARRANGED ON A SUBSTRATE, FOR PRODUCING AN IMAGE COMPOSED OF LIGHT SPOTS AND SUSPENDED ABOVE OR BELOW THE SUBSTRATE

摘要

The invention relates to a display element (20) with a substrate (22) with a surface area in which a plurality of optical elements (24) are arranged. According to the invention, the display element (20) is designed and intended to generate a light spot image (30) from a plurality of light spots (32) which are floating for a viewer (40) above or below the surface area when illuminated (34) with parallel light from a light source appear and which are arranged in the form of a predetermined motif, the optical elements being formed by refractive and / or reflective optical elements (24) and at least one refractive and / or reflective optical element (24) being associated with each light spot (32) of the light spot image , which, when illuminated (34) of the display element (20) contributes to the generation of the light spot (32) assigned to it, f / d 5 applying to the light spots and the assigned optical elements, f being the levitation height of the light spot above or below the Denoted area and d the diameter of the optical elements contributing to this light spot, wob ei the light spots of the light spot image all float in regions at the same levitation height above or below the surface area in order to form a backdrop motif.
