  • Publication number: 20230099123
    Abstract: This display medium is formed so as to be capable of displaying a prescribed number of content items corresponding to a prescribed number of azimuth angles from prescribed elevation and azimuth angles. The display medium includes a planar member for reflecting light, the planar member being segmented into a plurality of unit cells, with each of the plurality of unit cells being segmented into a prescribed number of sub-cells corresponding to the prescribed number of azimuth angles. A protrusion member that has a light-shielding surface, parallel to the prescribed azimuth angle on the planar member, is formed in each sub-cell corresponding to the prescribed azimuth angle. The protrusion member is tinted with a plurality of colors that form an achromatic color by additive color mixing.
