A display device, particularly for use as a menu board in a restaurant or the like. The device has at least two rotatable roller members located in substantially parallel spaced apart relationship. Carrier means is provided, tightly supported by and rotatable about the rollers and adapted to receive at least one display means thereon. Each of the carrier means and said display means are constructed at least partially of substantially flexible and translucent material. Illumination means are provided behind at least a portion of said carrier means, to illuminate a viewing portion of said carrier means and said display means thereon. Most preferably, each display means is sized and shaped to fit between a pair of adjacent rollers such that one or more discrete rest position(s) is/are automatically identified after said display device is rotated, whereby, in said rest position(s), one of said display means is centrally positioned between a respective pair of rollers.
Un système d'affichage (30) peut notamment s'utiliser en guise de carte de menu dans un restaurant par exemple. Il comporte au moins deux rouleaux (31 ou 32) parallèles séparés mais reliés et pouvant tourner. Un support (38) tournant prend solidement appui sur ces rouleaux (31, 32) et peut recevoir au moins un dispositif d'affichage (36). Ce support (38) et ce dispositif d'affichage (36) sont au moins partiellement constitués d'un matériau relativement souple et transparent. Un dispositif d'éclairage (37) est disposé derrière au moins une partie de ce support (38) pour éclairer une partie de visualisation dudit support (38) ainsi que le dispositif d'affichage (36) placé sur lui. De préférence, ce dispositif d'affichage (36) est dimensionné et conformé de manière à trouver place entre une paire de rouleaux adjacents pour qu'une ou plusieurs positions d'arrêt distinctes soient automatiquement détectées lorsqu'on le fait tourner. Ainsi, dans une telle position, l'un des dispositifs d'affichage (36) occupe une position centrale entre les deux rouleaux (31, 32).
