An enhanced visibility address sign device for being controlled by a wireless device includes a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a front wall. The front wall has a cutout where a display panel is positioned. Additionally, the housing has a back wall and an interior. An outside strip positioned on the bottom wall of the housing is illuminates an area below the bottom wall and an inside strip positioned within the interior of the housing emits a plurality of colors and illuminates the display panel. A control board is an actuator for the outside strip and the inside strip and a transceiver is in wireless communication with a mobile device thus obtaining commands from the mobile device and sending commands to the control board.

An electronic sign assembly includes a display panel that is mountable to an exterior wall of a house and a solar panel is hingedly coupled to the display panel. A display is mounted to the display panel such that the display is visible to an individual approaching the house. The display displays indicia comprising the street address of the house to facilitate the individual to identify the address of the house. A communication unit is integrated into the display panel and the communication unit is in remote communication with a wireless communication network thereby facilitating the communication unit to communicate with a personal electronic device of a delivery driver. The communication unit actuates the display to display the indicia when the personal electronic device moves within a pre-determined delivery distance of the house.

An at least partially self-powered photovoltaic sunshade and display system is provided, including a plurality of panels arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of panels has two sides, including a first side including a plurality of photovoltaic cells or a photovoltaic layer, and a second side having an array of light-emitting elements. The at least partially self-powered photovoltaic sunshade and display system includes energy storage means that receives charge from the plurality of panels and provides electrical power to the array of light-emitting elements. Each of the plurality of panels is rotatable about an axis such that the two sides are respectively rotatable towards or away from the sun, and towards or away from an exterior environment.

A promotional product including an emitter is provided. One or more tobacco-containing articles may be received in the package. The promotional product may include an actuator for facilitating delivery of power from a power source to the emitter to provide a visual, audio, and/or haptic effect to the promotional product. The emitter specifically can be a visual emitter, such as an electroluminescent emitter. A related method is also provided.

The present disclosure discloses a signboard assembly and a fully transparent solar LED luminous signboard. The signboard assembly comprises: a U-shaped sealing ring, a patterned reflective film, a light-diffusing plate, a light-guiding plate, an LED light bar, a white reflective film, a back plate, a signboard bracket, and a control box. The full-transparent solar LED luminous signboard includes a solar power supply assembly and the signboard assembly as described above. The present invention adopts side light emitting principle, wherein light is guided through the light-guiding plate, is reflected by the reflective film, and is homogenized by the light-diffusing plate, so that the whole signboard is finally illuminated uniformly. The problem that the traffic sign is difficult to identify is solved.

The present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module having a desired appearance. The module comprises at least one solar cell having black or dark surface portions. The module further comprises a material layer positioned over the black or dark surface portions. The material layer has material portions being lighter in colour or appearance than the black or dark surface portions. The material portions have a transmissivity for visible light dependent on a composition and/or thickness of the material portions. The material layer is at least largely transmissive for light at areas between the material portions. A visible layer is positioned over the material layer and includes at least one of: an image, a pattern or a colour. The thickness, composition and/or lateral coverage of the material portions of the material layer are selected dependent on a desired contrast and/or a darkness, brightness or colour of features of the desired appearance of the photovoltaic module.

An apparatus for ground-based advertising is provided. A back unit includes a floor defining a perimeter, ridges extending from the floor and about the perimeter to define a depression, and a cover configured to be slid into the depression and supported by the back and side ridges. A number of holes are located in the back unit to fasten the back unit to the ground. Another hole is located at the edge of the back unit and cover positioned to be aligned when the cover is installed on the back unit. A cavity is defined by the back unit and the cover into which advertisements and parking space numbers are placed.

A display unit includes a transparent or translucent layer with a display side and a rear side, with an opaque or semitransparent layer on the display side, containing a plurity of apertures, a plurality of illuminants, which are present at, or at a distance from, the rear side of the transparent or translucent layer, at least partly embedded in the layer, wherein at least one illuminant is substantially behind one of the apertures in each case configured and designed to emit light in the direction of and through the aperture, a transparent or translucent lamination ply adjoining the opaque or semitransparent layer and covering the plurity of apertures, and a transparent or translucent protective layer adjoining this lamination ply. Also disclosed are a display apparatus and a traffic guidance system comprising such a display unit, and use if the display unit as a media energy faade or a daylight display.

A device for displaying an advertisement in a parking lot which has a number of parking spaces includes a back unit configured for placement at a predetermined position associated with one of the respective parking spaces in said parking lot. A cover is mounted to said back unit such that said back unit and said cover form an enclosed compartment. A slot is positioned within said cover is configured to receive an advertisement for deposit within said enclosed compartment. A material capable of undergoing phosphorescence is positioned within said enclosed compartment to illuminate deposited advertisements.

The invention discloses devices for providing continuous advertising content within a plurality of dedicated parking lot advertising infrastructure units called capsules. Advertisements are generally placed in a waterproof space defined by a back unit and a clear, hard-plastic cover. A display unit or a physical advertisement may be placed in the space. Lighting and Internet connectivity may be provided to improve the performance and range of parking lot advertising capsules.
