<p>The illuminated sign has one or more transparent panels on which inscriptions are formed by engraving or polishing. These deflect light from a source behind.

If necessary the plate is divided into zones affecting the light emitted in different ways and a drive mechanism moves the plate sideways in relation to the panel section in both directions, and if necessary in sudden steps.</p> |
