A luminous advertisement assembly includes a side wall, a transparent and/or translucent front plate and a profiled connecting element. The profiled connecting element has a first connecting region to which the front plate is fixed, and a second connecting region to which the side wall is fixed. The first connecting region is configured as a receptacle having a first leg and a second leg between which the front plate is received. A latching hook is disposed on the first leg and is configured to fix the front plate in the receptacle. A recess is disposed in the front plate, and the latching hook of the profiled connecting element engages in the recess of the front plate.

A self-contained illuminated sign for mounting on a vehicle is disclosed. The sign includes a front panel, a rear panel situated opposite and substantially parallel to the front panel in spaced relation therefrom to define a space therebetween, and a light source comprising a plurality of LEDs. The light source is positioned between the front and rear panels and is configured to emit light that emanates from the front panel. The front panel is thus backlit to display indicia. A system for supporting a self-contained illuminated sign on a vehicle is also disclosed. The system includes the sign and a separate mounting frame mountable on a vehicle. The mounting frame is configured to removably receive the sign and, when the sign is received in the mounting frame, to surround a perimeter of the sign while permitting visibility of the front display area. Related methods are also disclosed.

A trim element having a display area defined by a display device, and an edge piece that includes a peripheral area extending around at least part of the display area, the peripheral area being at least partly translucent, the display area and the peripheral area forming at least a part of an outer surface of the trim element. The trim element further includes an illumination device arranged to illuminate the display device to display images on the display area. The illumination device has a luminous sheet extending at least facing the display area and the peripheral area of the edge piece.

A decorative panel has a substrate including a light-transmissive material, and a light-blocking layer provided along one side surface of the substrate. The light-blocking layer is including a light-blocking material. Further, an opening through which light from the substrate side passes is formed in the light-blocking layer. A thickness dimension of the light-blocking layer in a direction facing the substrate is set to be less than or equal to 10 μm. Further, the decorative panel has a second coated layer that is provided on the light-blocking layer. The second coated layer is including a light-transmissive material, and covers the light-blocking layer in a state in which a portion of the second coated layer is disposed within the opening.

An assembly includes: (a) a housing comprising a floor, a ceiling, a rear wall, a front wall, and opposed side walls that define a cavity, wherein the side walls include illuminable informational markings; (b) an antenna; (c) a radio residing in the cavity of the housing connected with the antenna; and (d) a power source attached to the radio; wherein the power source is employed to illuminate the informational markings.

According to one implementation, an image generation system includes a rotor and a motor for spinning the rotor about an axis of rotation, and a display secured to the rotor. The display includes a display surface and a display aperture, a first privacy screen situated at the display surface and having a convex curvature relative to light emitted from the display surface, and a second privacy screen situated between the first privacy screen and the display aperture and having a concave curvature relative to light emitted from the display surface. The first privacy screen and the second privacy screen are configured to substantially prevent rotational blur of an image displayed by the display surface while the display is spun by the motor and the rotor.

A display assembly that has a support, a mobile mount, a stationary mount, and a display unit. The display unit is supported by the mobile mount and the mobile mount is supported by the stationary mount which is secured to support. The mobile mount and the stationary mount are rotatable with respect to each other and may include undulating patterns that move the display vertically. The support includes a lighting element for backlighting the display and a locating element for positioning the stationary mount on the support.

A runway guidance sign includes a housing defining an interior space and an opening at a front side. The housing includes opposite upper and lower walls. An interior upright is received in the interior space of the housing. The interior upright is fastened to and extends between the upper and lower walls. The interior upright is integrally formed from a one-piece sheet of material.

Field serviceable display assemblies are provided. Multiple side assemblies are mounted to a structural framework in a moveable manner, each including a channel located between a transparent layer and an electronic display, which is located behind the transparent layer. A fixed structure is positioned within a cavity located within the structural framework and between the side assemblies. The fixed structure remains stationary when the side assemblies are moved between a closed position where the cavity is enclosed, and an opened position where the fixed structure is exposed to facilitate direct access to electronic components located thereon.

A planar component and a method of manufacturing thereon includes an integrated display device for digital information display, comprising a glass pane, at least one screen module, and a controller for controlling and supplying energy to the screen module. A front surface of the screen module forms at least a part of a front side of the component, and the remaining part of the front side of the component is formed by the glass pane.
