Abstract
On an inner wall in the interior of a vehicle, a display device is subdivided into a plurality of display fields with two directly adjacent display fields connected to each other along a common axis. At least one display field can be pivoted relative to at least one bending plane to beam display content into the interior at an angle α relative to the at least one bending plane. In a first operating position, a surface of this at least one display field is oriented perpendicular to the at least one bending plane. In a second operating position, this at least one display field is pivoted relative to the at least one bending plane at an angle 90°-α relative to the at least one bending plane to beam the display content into the interior parallel to the at least one bending plane.

A display device arranged on an inner wall in an interior of a vehicle, comprising:
- a plurality of display panels, including first and second display panels directly adjacent and connected at a common axis and having first and second surfaces emitting first and second display content, respectively, the first display panel being pivotable about a first bending plane relative to the second display panel, the first display panel emitting the first display content from the first surface into the interior at a first angle α relative to the first bending plane when in a first operating position and, when the first display panel is pivoted at a second angle of 90°-α relative to the bending plane to a second operating position, the first display content into the interior parallel to the first bending plane.
A method for presenting display content by a display device arranged on an inner wall in an interior of a vehicle and subdivided into a plurality of display panels, comprising:
- respectively emitting first and second display content from first and second surfaces of first and second display panels directly adjacent and connected at a common axis, the first display panel being pivotable about a first bending plane relative to the second display panel, the first display content emitted into the interior at a first angle α relative to the first bending plane when the first surface of the first display panel is oriented perpendicular to the first bending plane in a first operating position;
- pivoting the first display panel relative to the first bending plane to a second angle of 90°-α in a second operating position;
- and
- emitting the first display content, from the first display panel, parallel to the first bending plane in the second operating position.
