ABSTRACT:
A display device for displaying numerical results of athletics and/or games and the like formed from a rear support panel attached to a front cover of colored transparent sheet material by a surrounding frame forming a shallow box. The transparent sheet material is removable by sliding from the overall unit to reveal the printed circuit boards laid out there below.
Within the box printed circuit boards are removably secured each having mounted thereon a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged in the form of a bisected parallelogram so that by selectively energizing groups of the light emitting diodes, different sections of the bisected parallelogram can be illuminated to display different numerals in the range 0 to 9.
A control unit is connected to the display unit having switching devices which can be set to cause different patterns of light emitting diodes to become illuminated.
The light emitting diodes making up each straight line segment of the bisected rectangle are arranged in two parallel lines and the power to each line is independent of the other, and the light emitting diodes in each line are interconnected in series so as to reduce current demand.
