The present invention relates generally to illuminated display devices and methods of displaying indicia, advertisements, etc. on a changeable illuminated display. The display device comprises a frame structure having an open space. The display device further comprises a compact image display device operable to display an image, the compact image display device held and positioned relative to the frame structure such that the image, when displayed by the compact image display device, is visible through the open space. Additionally, control circuitry is coupled to the compact image display device.

A bracket for holding a license plate to a vehicle having an air grille with vertical posts comprises a license plate frame. Two leg member are each fixed with a lower edge of the frame and terminate with an elongated foot that has a distal end that engages one of the vertical posts. The leg members each include an elongated arm that has a proximal end rotatably fixed with the leg member and a distal end that has a lateral slot for receiving the vertical post therein. During installation, the foot and the arm of the leg members are inserted into the air intake grille to engage one of the vertical posts, and the arm thereafter is rotated until the lateral slot engages the vertical post to secure the bracket to the vehicle. Each leg member further includes a lock for securing the arm from relative rotational movement.

An electronic license plate has a digital display covered by a protective glass layer, positioned in a display frame, and electronically connected to a motherboard. A wireless communication device enables control of the contents of the digital display through cellular networks or other wireless communication means. A method of use of the electronic license plate enables displaying and updating relevant license plate information, in addition to GPS tracking, toll payment and parking payment features.

A license plate assembly includes a backing and a flexible license plate. The flexible license plate includes plural layers, including a licensing-information layer, in which ink is deposited in the form of alphanumeric characters on an underlying one of the plural layers, the alphanumeric characters providing license information. The flexible license plate optionally includes one or more holograms, and/or watermarks, and/or QR-codes. The flexible license plate is disposed on the backing, which extends beyond the perimeter of the flexible license plate, defining a marginal region. In some embodiments, plural indices are disposed in the marginal region to facilitate alignment of flexible license plate during installation thereof on a motor vehicle.

A placard tool including a shaft having a distal end spaced from a proximal end, the shaft including a longitudinal axis A. A handle is positioned at the proximal end of the shaft. An elongated member is positioned at the distal end of the shaft. The elongated member includes a first end and an opposite a second end. The elongated member is offset in a first direction B from the axis A of the shaft defining an unequal length of the elongated member with reference to the axis A on the second end in comparison to the first end. The elongated member is offset in a second direction C from the axis A of the shaft positioning the elongated member on one side with reference to the axis A.

The present invention is directed to a rear vehicle advertisement display that allows for messaging in the form of text and/or graphics to be displayed on the rear of a vehicle when a. rear windshield wiper is in use. The advertisement display system includes a base frame, a hollow vessel, a flexible panel stored within the hollow vessel, and a mounting member for attaching the system to a vehicle. The advertisement display system disclosed is dynamic, such that the advertisement is visible in certain scenarios and hidden in others.

Technologies are generally described for context sensitive display of information on a consumable delivery vehicle with en route preparation. An on-board controller may receive different sets of sensor data associated with time, location, temperature, humidity, captured images, and/or captured audio from sensors on the vehicle or at a destination location. The sensor data may be analyzed/processed at the on-board controller or by a remote control system and instructions may be generated for display of context sensitive information based on received sensor data and/or processed sensor data. One or more displays on the vehicle may display images are associated with a branding, a menu, a pricing, and/or an advertisement based on the generated instructions.

Placard holders and methods of securing a placard card to a placard holder are described herein. The placard holders include a backing plate; a holder portion movably coupled to the backing plate, the holder portion including an opening and a pocket extending from the opening for receiving a placard card; and a fastener coupled to the backing plate, the fastener being configured to secure a side of the holder portion to the backing plate to retain the placard card in the pocket.

A system for placing real-time interactive images on, inside, or in the general vicinity of a moving vehicle, during a live feed, wherein a user has the capability to pause and then click on the provided HTML hyperlinks with the goal of a user learning more about an image and related products. The Images are read by Facial Recognition Software comparing a limited database of images.

Methods and apparatus for advertising, promoting, marketing and/or selling products and services. The inventions include a mobile vehicle and moving showroom for advertising, promotion, marketing, and sales of products and services. The products and services may be promoted for direct sale from the moving showroom, or for sale from other outlets, such as retail stores and internet sales.
