ABSTRACT:
An information display system is disclosed having a housing with a viewing window. An elongated flexible sheet is contained within the housing and a plurality of discrete visual messages are provided at longitudinal spaced intervals along the sheet while a controllable motor is mechanically drivenly connected with the sheet to control the position of the sheet. A coded index is also associated with each discrete visual message on the sheet. A microprocessor based central control unit receives input from a user via a keyboard of the desired visual message to be displayed through the housing window. After the user inputs the desired message, the control unit outputs control signals to a motor control module associated with the controllable motor. The motor control module decodes the output signal and then selectively activates the controllable motor in the housing to change the positioning of the sheet until the desired or target visual message is positioned in alignment with the housing viewing window.
