Abstract

A programmable transparent display message center is formed from an array of rows and columns of light emitting diodes (LED's). A wire connects each row of LED's. Each column of LED's is connected to a conductive transparent layer. The transparent layer is electrically isolated from the rows of wires. A voltage drive is associated with each row and with each column. The LED's, the wires, the conductive transparent layer, and the voltage driver and sequenced controller do not obscure an object located on one side of the display message center to the observer located on the opposite side thereof. Transparency often is achieved when the display obscures less than about 20% of the light emitted from the scene toward the viewer. The message displays to the observer is one or more of alphanumeric characters or graphics.
