An outdoor advertisement structure on a bus roof of the present invention can hide the untidiness of a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system and the like mounted on the bus roof by a rectangular-shaped advertisement structure (10) since the advertisement structure (10) of which upper and lower parts are open and the four surrounding surfaces thereof are connected, is mounted on a bus roof (1) to cover an HVAC system (3) mounted on the bus roof (1) such that the HVAC system (3) is not exposed to the outside and to simultaneously provide a mounting area for traffic information notification and advertisements, wherein a front light guide panel (20) and a side light guide panel (22) for traffic information notification and advertisement are respectively mounted on a front part (12) and both side parts (14) of the advertisement structure (10), and thereby providing a balance between the bus and a cityscape by finishing the exterior appearance state of the bus roof (1) to be relatively aesthetically pleasing, increasing the advertising efficiency by minimizing advertisements hidden by nearby vehicles or road facilities, enabling the advertisements to be easily identified with the naked eye regardless of the time of day and focusing the attention of consumers at a new advertising height, and maximizing advertising effects by attaching large advertisements of advertising text, photographs and the like onto an upper plate material (30) covering the upper opening of the advertisement structure (10).

A signage system (10) including one or more visual display devices (11), each mounted for display behind the windshield (15) of one or more parked and ignition-off vehicles (16). Each sign (11) has a visual display surface (12) that is capable of forming an illuminated graphic display (13) on the visual display surface (12). The visual display surface (12) would be visible to observers in front of the vehicle (16). The system (10) includes wireless communication hardware (60) that allows the visual display (11) to be programmed by a remote programming device (41). Each of the display devices (11) can be programmed to have a separate message and each message would scroll from left to right across the display surface (12) in a time coordinated manner so that the message appears to scroll consistently from left to right across the visual field of the plurality of display surfaces (12).

A vehicle lamp includes a plurality of light source modules that includes light sources including a plurality of light emitting elements that emit different colors of light and lens bodies disposed in front of the light sources, and the plurality of light source modules are disposed in a matrix manner in a plane to constitute at least one light emitting area.

The present disclosure relates to a function display for selectively displaying symbols representing switching states for a motor vehicle including a light guide stack of at least two transparent or translucent, planar light guides arranged in an overlaid manner in a stacking direction, which are spaced apart by a transparent or translucent layer including a material that is optically thinner compared to the adjacent light guides so that the light guides have a main surface facing towards an observer and a main surface facing away from the observer that faces towards a light guide which is most closely adjacent in stacking direction; at least one light source per light guide arranged to couple light into the respective light guide via an end face; wherein one light-refractive and/or light-scattering microstructured portion per light guide, which is provided in or on the light guide, is provided for generating a symbol display.

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, a plurality of openings formed in the frame structure, the plurality of openings comprising first and second open spaces disposed at top and bottom positions, respectively, of the frame structure, and the plurality of openings further comprising a third open space disposed between the first and second open spaces. 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 first, second, and third different portions of the image, when displayed by the compact image display device, are visible through the plurality of openings first, second, and third open spaces, respectively. Additionally, control circuitry is coupled to the compact image display device.

An emblem assembly is provided that includes a power source, a backing member, and a light-producing assembly coupled to the power source and supported by the backing member. The light-producing assembly may include an electroluminescent light source. The emblem assembly further includes a chromatic layer over the light-producing assembly that comprises and emblem shape, and a translucent sealing structure over the chromatic layer that seals the backing member, the light-producing assembly, and the chromatic layer. The emblem assembly exhibits a chrome- or mirror-like finish when viewed under ambient lighting conditions. Further, the emblem assembly possesses a glowing appearance when activated under low light or nighttime conditions.
