Abstract:
1. A display providing a visual presentation of an alphanumeric character in response to a set of electric signals, the display comprising: a printed circuit board including: a plurality of light-emitting electronic devices disposed on the first surface and in electrical communication with the plurality of electrically conductive traces, each of the plurality of light-emitting electronic devices emitting light in response to a respective electric signal of the set of electric signals, and each of the respective electric signals being communicated via a corresponding one of the plurality of electrically conductive pads; wherein the periphery of the electrical insulator comprises first and second pairs of parallel edges, the first pair of parallel edges being spaced a first dimension apart and each of the first pair of parallel edges extending a second dimension, and the second pair of parallel edges is spaced the second dimension apart and each of the second pair of parallel edges extends the first dimension; wherein the plurality of electrically conductive pads consists of nine electrically conductive pads arranged in a pattern of two columns of four electrically conductive pads each and a single pad disposed between the two columns, each of the two columns extending parallel to the first pair of parallel edges, the two columns of four electrically conductive pads defining a stack of four pairs of electrically conductive pads, each of the four pairs extending parallel to the second pair of parallel edges, and the single pad being disposed approximately halfway between the first pair of parallel edges and between two adjacent pairs of electrically conductive pads located proximate either of the second pair of parallel edges; and wherein the plurality of light-emitting electronic devices consists of eight light-emitting diodes.
