3D Color Model Display Device with Foldable Panels

The patent transforms a traditional two-dimensional color wheel into a three-dimensional structure by adding vertical layers. Multiple color wheels are stacked at different heights, creating a multi-layered configuration that provides true three-dimensional representation of color models while maintaining the familiar circular color arrangement in each layer.

The color display device is divided into multiple independent layers, each containing a complete color wheel. These layers are stacked vertically and can be considered as segmented sections. Each layer displays specific color relationships, and the combination of layers creates the comprehensive three-dimensional color model representation.

Each layer in the stacked configuration serves multiple functions: it displays a complete color wheel for general color reference, shows specific color relationships relevant to its vertical position, and contributes to the overall three-dimensional structure. This multi-functionality reduces information loss while managing complexity through reusable design patterns.

The patent implements a nested structure where multiple color wheels are stacked concentrically or in a tower configuration. Each layer is contained within or adjacent to the others, creating a compact nested arrangement. This nesting principle allows comprehensive color information display while minimizing the overall device footprint and managing structural complexity.
