A COLOR CHANGEABLE FIBER-OPTIC ILLUMINATED DISPLAY

摘要

An illuminated display (21) makes use of optical fibers (29) and a programmable controller (33) for varying the brightness intensity and colors emitted by color changeable LEDs (25) through the optical fibers (29). The illuminated fiber optic display (21) is carried on a planar suface (23) and may be incorporated on an article of clothing. By using color-variable LEDs (25) suitably connected to the corresponding fiber optic bundles (27), eye- catching, color-changing displays can be created with fewer interconnections , fewer light sources (25), and fewer optical fibers (29).
