Is there a kinetic display that is almost as good as a regular monitor?

My eyes are hurting from looking at a traditional computer monitor all the time.
I need a display that doesn't use light, but rather colored blocks or squares.
You know, like have you seen documentaries about North Korea, and thousands of people are in a stadium holding cards, and on cue they flip the cards to form an image?
I wish they had monitors like that... something that doesnt use light

Am I making any sense?

    They USED to have "digital" clocks that worked like that, but I doubt they do NOW. LCD displays TECHNICALLY work the same way though! They have VERY tiny elements to replace the cards, and a current comes through on a matrix to bend it and diffract light, many of those build up the pictures. LEDs have elements that may be different colors, and a current effectively comes through on a matrix to CREATE light. So IT is the same kind of concept, but creates, rather than diffractsm light. But given the technology and market, I doubt you will find the kind of cards you describe.
