This is inside the bracket 11 and the frame 12 a disk 23 inserted or clamped from the bottom with a light bar 15 is irradiated with light. The disc 23 in this embodiment has the function of a light guide or a surface light and can alternatively also laterally through the light bar 15 be irradiated. Between the disc 23 and the frame 12 can be a lens 14 be arranged.

In 7 is a fixed text display that displays a once given text, numbers or graphical representations. This is inside the bracket 11 and the frame 12 a slide 21 inserted or clamped. This slide 21 consists of a so-called backlit foil, in which a fixed text, a number or letter / number combination or a graphic representation of one on the slide 21 applied special pigmentation exists. These pigments can be illuminated by electrical stimulation. These backlight films are based on the physical effect of electroluminescence, and in addition to the variation of the textual or graphic design, also allow different light effects, for example by assigning different light colors to different areas. This can be achieved by light filters or by the different electronic control of the pigments. A change of the text is only by changing the slide 21 possible. Depending on the embodiment, the film 21 additionally by a support plate 24 and a slice 23 be chambered to large-scale slides 21 to ensure additional stability. The foil 21 can alternatively only with the windscreen 8th inside the case 5 of the door drive 1 be arranged. The advantage of using these back-light foils is that very compact dimensions can be realized in the overall depth, and that the backlighting foil can be arranged in radii or around corners. Thus, too especially with revolving doors, the use of this back-lit film front on the round cover part of the revolving door possible. Likewise, a housing shape for the door drive with a directed to the ground radius or arc is possible to which adapts the backlight film. For a user of the door, as the distance to the door decreases, looking up to the drive becomes easier if he wants to read the text.
