ABSTRACT:
This graphic character matrix display assembly has a support providing a nonreflecting background for a multiplicity of display units arranged for cooperatively displaying the character. Each of the display units comprises a flat display disk having opposite sides. An electromagnet rotates the disk between display position and reversed position. A light source projects a light beam at each disk when the disk is in the display position. The light beam also projects an outline of the disk by backlighting. A tab on each disk projects laterally in the plane of the disk to block the light beam when the disk is in reversed position. The light source may be a single incandescent lamp, plurality of lamps, a light pipe, light emitting diodes or a fiber optic light conduit.
