Apparatus and Method for Remotely Controlled Variable Message Display Systems Capable of Break-Apart Configurations

摘要

An apparatus and method for remotely controlled variable message display systems comprising a plurality of display panels, each of which is independently capable of stand-alone operation; each said panel comprises a plurality of signal elements having an on state and an off state. A controller located remotely of the set of display panels produces an information signal which travels to all panels. Each display panel can be separated from the main sign and placed at separate locations, away from a controller. A logic circuit is associated with each display panel. A data bus interconnects the controller and the logic circuit whereby the alpha-numeric or image data and the panel location data are communicated. A data bus allows for wireless connection to each display panel.
