Abstract
A crystal display device is disclosed wherein a vertically arranged photovoltaic cell, main device housing—encasing an electric motor and transmission—, and a refractory crystal suspended below is rotated so as to provide multi-colored displays upon room walls and other surfaces when exposed to sunlight. A preferred embodiment of the device utilizes a suction cup to retain the device housing in the afore-mentioned vertical alignment against the inside of a selected window.
