Think of the mask like windows in a wall.

As the sun moves (or as the earth spins) the light from each window will change its angle.

So if we add another wall with more windows, we can filter our filtered light. Then you'd say, "when the light shines in window 4 it's say 6pm".

Now add a board person with a degree in mathematics, and a grid of windows. And you get single "pixels/windows" that show light based on the minute and hour, and BOOM a digital clock.
