| 1. A display, comprising
a first light-transmissive substrate portion, said first substrate portion comprising a first surface and a second surface;
a second light-transmissive substrate portion fixed relative to the first substrate portion, said second substrate portion
comprising a first surface and a second surface, wherein said first surface of said second substrate portion is oriented at
a first non-zero angle to the first surface of the first substrate portion;
at least a first reflective element supported by the second surface of the first substrate portion, wherein said first reflective
element has a first reflectivity which changes in response to a first signal, wherein the first reflectivity of the first
reflective element comprises a range of wavelengths reflected from said first reflective element, said range of wavelengths
changing in response to said first signal; and
at least a second reflective element supported by the second surface of the second substrate portion.
