Abstract

In a device for showing a first image in a second image which is visible through a transparent sheet at which light proceeding from the first image is reflected and which is so arranged that the first image and the second image are detectable by an observer at the same viewing angle, at least one light source is provided for substantially parallel light, by which the light proceeding from the first image as light bundle can be generated with little expansion.
