A kit for securing advertising space to a horizontal wind turbine at a blade height of the horizontal wind turbine, a horizontal wind turbine including the kit, and methods of making and using the same are disclosed. The horizontal wind turbine has blades on a blade side of the turbine, a non-blade side opposite the blade side of the turbine, a tower and a nacelle capable of turning during normal function. The kit comprises (i) an advertisement and/or advertising space and (ii) a structure that facilitates the turning of a base of the advertisement and/or advertising space to mirror the nacelle. The advertisement and/or advertising space is on the non-blade side of the horizontal wind turbine. The base of the advertisement and/or the advertising space is joined, connected or affixed to the tower and/or the nacelle and can store a plurality of ads in the housing.

A system for displaying information in a large scale format may include a structure extending upwardly from a ground surface and having an exterior surface, and a display apparatus mounted on the structure. The display apparatus may include a housing having an interior, and a display member mounted on the housing and being movable with respect to the housing between a retracted condition and an extended condition, the display member being formed of a sheet material.

A display device includes a housing with a grid assembly received therein. A plurality of light assemblies is coupled to the grid assembly, for example in a grid pattern to create a dynamic display area. Each of light assemblies has an actuator assembly, with each one of the actuator assemblies being individually controllable to move the corresponding light assembly between a retracted state and a plurality of extended states. A controller is coupled to each of the plurality of light assemblies and programmed to control the actuator assemblies to move the light assemblies between the retracted state and the plurality of extended states.

A display device includes a plurality of display modules provided to output visual information, having a bar shape, and sequentially disposed in one direction, a connection unit connecting the plurality of display modules such that the plurality of display modules are relatively moved, and a controller controlling the connection unit to relatively move the plurality of display modules to adjust daylighting using a space between the plurality of display modules.

A display (100) primarily intended for use on an external surface of a building comprises a weatherproof housing (310, 340); a bistable electro-optic medium (326) enclosed within and visible through the housing; an electrode (324, 330) enclosed within the weatherproof housing and arranged to drive the electro-optic medium; a power source (504) enclosed within the weatherproof housing; data receiving means (508) enclosed within the weatherproof housing and arranged to receive data wirelessly from a source outside the weatherproof housing; and display drive means (510) arranged to receive data from the data receiving means and power from the power source, and to control the potential of the electrode.

A display apparatus includes: a plurality of display units that are two-dimensionally arranged; a supporting member that supports the plurality of display units; and an elastic member that partially couples the supporting member and each of some or all of the plurality of display units.

A system for marking points on a surface at a distance has a marker apparatus with a plurality of point light sources mounted individually in apparatus movable by electrical drives to position light spots on a surface at a distance in a pattern, and an electronic power and control system coupled to the marker apparatus, providing signals for manipulating individual ones of the electrical drives of the point light sources to position the light spots in the pattern.

Systems and methods of projecting graphical objects are disclosed. In one example, a system includes a virtual reality (VR) rendering engine configured to generate a virtual reality space of a geographic region of interest with a graphical feature that represents a physical feature in the geographic region of interest. A display is configured to display a VR graphical user interface (GUI) with the generated virtual reality space and a menu including graphical objects. A graphical object may be placed on the graphical feature in the virtual reality space. A projector interface determines a projection surface on the physical feature based on the placement of the graphical object in the virtual reality space and generates instructions for a projector to project an image of the graphical object onto the projection surface in the physical feature of the geographic region of interest.

A system and method for removable or semi-permanent installation of a transparent organic lighting diode (TOLED) display with transparency control are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes a TOLED display that includes a TOLED panel with a front side and a back side, a cover glass coupled to the front side of the TOLED panel, and an electrochromic (EC) glass coupled to the back side of the TOLED panel to provide transparency control of the TOLED panel. The system further includes a top hinge assembly and a bottom hinge assembly used to rotatably couple the TOLED display to a support structure to facilitate rotation of the TOLED display to different positions and to provide relatively easy removal of the TOLED display.

A decal assembly includes a film, a power source including a positive contact and a negative contact, a light having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and a layer of electrically conductive ink applied to the film, the layer of electrically conductive ink forming a line to connect the positive contact of the power source to the positive terminal of the light, and to connect the negative contact of the power source to the negative terminal of the light.
