Abstract (en)

[origin: US5430463A] PCT No. PCT/FR93/00804 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Aug. 11, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/08327 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 14, 1994.The invention relates to a display element and to its use in a display panel, and to a display system. This display element is generally in the form of a cube (32) and thus comprises four display faces of different color. This cube (32) is mounted so as to rotate on fixed shafts (34), in column Cn and in row Rm. These cubes include rotation means such as teeth and erasing means such as a recess. By virtue of the these rotation means such as teeth and these erasing means such as a recess, the rotating of a display element is simplified, and more foolproof and reliable, which improves the operation of the display panel made up of such display elements.
