<p>A diffractive display suitable for presenting graphic displays is disclosed. One embodiment includes a holographic diffraction pattern (100) carried by a permanent magnet (120) or related element and an electrically energizable coil or conductor (160) energizable for causing movement of the magnet. Rotation of the holographic diffraction pattern about a pivot (140) generates a display with diffracted light from the holographic diffraction grating. Another embodiment includes a faceted rotatable element (FRE) having an array of facets each bearing a diffraction grating and a source energizable for rotation of the FRE from a resting station to a viewing station. Rotation of the FRE generates a display from the diffracted light.</p> |
