Abstract

An opto-mechanical switching device, which includes a flexible and transparent light conductive body and elements to flex the body. Said body has a longitudinal reflective region on its surface and an absorbent longitudinal region opposite to the reflective region where the reflective and absorbent regions are arranged in such a way that, when the body flexes in one direction, the light passing along of the body is reflected by the reflective region and transmitted and when the body flexes in the opposite direction, light passing through the body is absorbed by the absorbent region.
