1. A display device, comprising:
a flexible display surface element having a display surface to display content; and
an adjustment unit, which includes,
a clamping element formed as rod and arranged so the rod is movable in a first adjustment direction,
a restoring element arranged on the clamping element, and
a deflection element in form of a rod,
a first side edge of the flexible display surface element is arranged on a length of the clamping element,
a second side edge of the flexible display surface element opposite to the first side edge is connected through the restoring element to the clamping element, so that the display surface of the flexible display surface element is curved and has a bending region, and
a length of the deflection element extends in a same direction as the clamping element, the deflection element extends within the bending region of the curved display surface element and is arranged to be movable in a second adjustment direction to change a distance between the deflection element and the clamping element.
