ABSTRACT:
An illuminated sign system is comprised of independent sign modules that may be used individually or associated with additional sign modules to form a sign matrix of variable size and shape. Individual sign modules are independently capable of displaying text or graphics stored in the sign module's memory or as entered by a user. Larger signs can be easily created in the field by connecting multiple sign modules together into a matrix. Control circuitry in the modules detects the presence of adjacent modules and shifts control of the matrix display to the module in a master position. The text or graphics on the module in the master position is preferably resized to fit the size of the matrix. A user can control the entire matrix by controlling the module in the master position.
