Wintgen, Sur l'in\\'egalit\\'e de Chen-Willmore, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 288 (1979), 993--995] that the Gauss curvature $K$ and the normal curvature $K^D$ of a surface in the Euclidean 4-space $E^4$ satisfy $$K+|K^D|\\leq H^2,$$ where $H^2$ is the squared mean curvature. A surface $M$ in $\\E4$ is called a {Wintgen ideal} surface if it satisfies the equality case of the inequality identically. Wintgen ideal surfaces in $E^4$ form an important family of surfaces; namely, surfaces with circular ellipse of curvature.
