Patent ID: 8081145

Claim:
A display device comprising: several supports which can be mounted on a façade of an edifice, said supports being spaced apart from each other, allowing a person within the edifice to look out through the spacing between the supports; a plurality of groups of light-emitting diodes which are provided on the several supports and serve as picture points of the display device; and a control unit for activating said plurality of groups of light-emitting diodes, wherein said several supports are each formed as an elongated profile body, which has a recess extending in the longitudinal direction of said profile body and having an opening, said several supports are aligned substantially parallel to each other, said plurality of groups of light-emitting diodes are mounted on several circuit boards, said several circuit boards each being integrated in a protective mass with corresponding light-emitting diodes partially protruding out of the protective mass, and said several circuit boards are inserted into the recesses of said several supports in such a way that each group of light-emitting diodes partially protrude from the protective mass and protrude at least partially from the corresponding recess beyond a farthest edge of the corresponding support, the farthest edge being the edge of the corresponding support that is farthest from a plane substantially parallel to the façade along a direction perpendicular to the plane when the support is in an operating position.
