摘要： Embodiments of the inventive display device for indicating of azimuthal and other information are provided, comprising at least one preferably circular configuration of light emitting elements, control unit, magnetic sensor. An imaginable straight line, extending from the device display's center to an actuated element, determines azimuthal direction. One uniquely shaped element is actuated when the device is oriented towards the north magnetic pole by said imaginable line extending through said unique element. When the device's orientation changes, said unique element is de-actuated. A user, by regulating means, may preset a desirable direction by actuating an element coincided with the direction. The device is capable to “remember” the direction; when its orientation changes, another element is actuated, still showing the desirable direction. Some embodiments of the device may exhibit timepiece, calendar, temperature and other information. Azimuthal information may be displayed in a predetermined color position order of the light emitting elements.
