Abstract:
A display sign capable of generating a static display from a received electronic signal generated at and transmitted to said sign from a remote source, said display sign comprising:a) an outer housing;b) a computer controlled and plasma operated flat display panel on said housing and being observable to a large number of people in a group with wide angle viewing capacity;c) window forming means on said housing allowing said display panel to be visible to a viewer;d) processor means within said housing and receiving an electrical signal from a remote source representative of the display to be generated, said processor means causing generation of that static display in the display panel based on the signal received from the remote source; ande) a transparent sheet extending over and being spaced apart from said display panel to allow for a forced air flow past said panel to thereby enable a dissipation of heat from said housing and to prevent transmission of force to said relatively fragile display panel which might otherwise crack said display panel.
