Abstract:
1. A device for displaying a plurality of planar objects arranged in at least one stack, comprising: a display area adapted to display the at least one stack of objects; a processing unit adapted to generate and modify graphics data of the objects; and a proximity ascertainment device adapted to detect an operating element in a proximity region in front of the display area or in front of an input device, the processing unit adapted to generate the graphics data of the objects so that the at least one stack of objects is displayed on the display area in a first mode, in a second mode, and in a third mode; wherein, in the first mode, the at least one stack of objects is displayed in a first display state, the graphics data of the objects generated so that only a first object of the at least one stack is shown on the display area; wherein in the second mode, in which the proximity ascertainment device detects an operating element in the proximity region in front of the display area or in front of the input device, the at least one stack of objects is shown in a second display state, the graphics data of the objects generated so that the at least one stack of objects is expanded to display objects behind the first object; and wherein, in the third mode, following selection or touching of the display area or an object shown on the display area, using the operating element, the at least one stack of objects is displayed in a third display state, the graphics data of the objects generated so that individual objects, or a subset of the objects, of the displayed stacks are displayed substantially at an offset one behind the other, at a greater distance from each other than in the second mode, for selection of the objects using the operating element.
