A display system comprising, in order: a. a module mounting panel in an enclosure for receiving a plurality of modular display panels; and, b. each of said modular display panels, including latch means, wherein attachment or removal of the modular displays is accomplished from either side of the modular display panels; disengagement of the modular displays from the front is accomplished by actuating the latches from the front by rotating the upper and lower latch access plugs from the front, whereby the modular display panels simply moved outwardly from the module display panel; disengagement of the modular displays from the rear is accomplished by actuating the latches from the rear by rotating the upper and lower latch access plugs from the rear, whereby the modular display panels are moved outwardly and then rotated and removed to the rearward through the large access holes.
