Patent ID: 7144324

Claim:
An electronic display to post new gaming limits, comprising: a housing having a rectangular back wall and peripheral sidewalls having a groove defined therein, the housing having an open top; a transparent front panel slidably mounted in the groove; a plurality of alphanumeric LED display integrated circuits mounted between the back wall and the front panel, the alphanumeric display integrated circuits being adapted for displaying maximum and minimum gaming limits through the transparent front panel; a programmable display driver circuit electrically connected to the alphanumeric LED display integrated circuits, the driver circuit having a plurality of switches for changing characters displayed by the alphanumeric LED display integrated circuits; a plurality of LED diode arrays disposed in the groove beneath the front panel, the diode arrays being configured to uniformly radiate a backlight through the front panel, each of the diode arrays being capable of emitting different colors in response to bias voltages applied to terminals of the diode arrays; and a diode array driver circuit electrically connected to the LED diode arrays and to the programmable display driver circuit for automatically changing the color of the backlight radiated by the LED diode arrays when the switches are actuated to change at least the minimum gaming limit displayed by the alphanumeric LED display integrated circuits.
