1. A display system comprising:
- a first visually transparent display module; and
a second display module positioned in a spaced relationship to the first display module in a stacked formation substantially along a Z-axis perpendicular to a display face of the first display module;
wherein each display module can be selectively activated to display a visual image or deactivated to a quiescent state, and wherein when the second display module is activated to display the viewed image, the viewed image can be viewed through the first display module.

Abstract
A display system for presenting one or more planes of display information. The display system may include two or more display modules positioned in a spaced relationship in a stacked formation substantially along a Z-axis perpendicular to a display face of a display module. Each display module may be selectively activated to display a visual image or deactivated to a quiescent state. Further, when a display module is activated to display the viewed image, the viewed image can be viewed through a prior display module which is deactivated to a quiescent state.

11. A method of operating a display system comprising the steps of:
-
providing a first visually transparent display module, wherein the first visually transparent display module can be activated to display an image and deactivated to a quiescent state;
providing a second display module positioned in a spaced relationship to the first display module in a stacked formation substantially along a Z-axis perpendicular to a display face of the first display module, wherein the second display module can be selectively activated to display the image and deactivated to a quiescent state; and
activating a display module to display the visual image, wherein when the second display module is activated to display the viewed image, the viewed image can be viewed through the first display module. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
