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 representation element (20) comprising a substrate (22) having a surface region containing a plurality of optical elements (24). According to the invention, the representation element (20) is designed to produce, when illuminated (34), a light spot image (30) consisting of a plurality of light spots (32) that appear to the observer (40) to be suspended above or below the surface region, and are arranged in the form of a pre-determined pattern. Said optical elements are formed by refractive and/or reflective optical elements (24) and at least one refractive and/or reflective optical element is associated with each light spot (32) of the light spot image, contributing to the production of the light spot (32) associated therewith when the representation element (20) is illuminated (34).
