Abstract
An electronic shelf label, which comprises: a display unit, which is designed for displaying image content, and a communication module, which is designed for wireless communication for the purpose of receiving image data, which represent the image content, and for transferring the image data to the display unit, wherein a detector unit is provided, which is designed for detecting an incorrect positioning, which differs from a desired positioning, of the electronic shelf label, and for outputting an action signal when the incorrect positioning is detected, wherein the detector unit comprises a photodiode, and wherein the electronic shelf label is designed to change the image content when the action signal is present.

An electronic shelf label, which comprises:
- a display, which is designed for displaying image content,
- a wireless communicator, which is designed for wireless communication for the purpose of receiving image data, which represent the image content, and for transferring the image data to the display, and
- a detector, which is designed for detecting an incorrect positioning, which differs from a desired positioning, of the electronic shelf label, and for outputting an action signal when the incorrect positioning is detected, wherein the detector comprises a photodiode, wherein
- the electronic shelf label is designed to change the image content when the action signal is present, and
- the electronic shelf label is designed such that, when the electronic shelf label is positioned in the desired positioning, all ambient light is blocked from reaching a light-sensitive zone of the photodiode.
