A visual display module includes a thin thermally conductive substrate. The substrate has a narrow top edge surface on which a linear array of closely spaced electroluminescent display elements are mounted, a bottom edge surface along which there are disposed terminals for receiving input power and binary coded signals for controlling the display elements, and a lateral surface on which an integrated circuit chip and a signal conductors are located. The integrated circuit chip contains a decoding network for selectively addressing the display elements in response to the binary coded signals, write-erase gating means for conditioning an addressed display element into an "on" or "off" state, and memory circuits for holding each display element in its "selected" state. The display elements are disposed in a viewing plane perpendicular to the lateral surface of the substrate, so that a plurality of modules can be stacked adjacent to one another to produce an expandable high density display field.
