ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a display device and a display method in which a light source irradiates a light transmitting member with light, the light transmitting member outputs a light component having directivity as display light, and the behavior of this light at the interface between a light transmitting material and the light transmitting member is switched between total reflection and transmission by changing the contact state between them, thereby changing the intensity of the display light.
