Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Systems are provided to support a plurality of flexible display modules in an adjustable convex arrangement. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to couple to and retain a support frame are provided. Flexible and durable weather resistance features are provided. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.

A balloon comprises a printed display. The printed display comprises: a printed image layer; a blocking layer provided behind selected portions of the printed image layer; and a diffusion layer provided behind at least those portions of the printed image layer not backed by the blocking layer. The blocking layer acts to block illumination of portions of the printed image layer, such that the printed display provides a different appearance when lit primarily from inside the balloon to when lit primarily from outside the balloon.

Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Methods are provided to support a plurality of flexible display modules in an adjustable curved arrangement. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to couple to and retain a support frame are provided. Flexible and durable weather resistance features are provided. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.

A backlit display system includes a display framework and a display fabric. The display frame has an inner perimeter defining a central open space and having mounted thereabout a plurality of light-emitting elements configured for emitting light into the central open space. The display fabric has a rearward, light-reflective back-lighting panel and a forward, light-permeable image-display panel supported by the display frame such that at least a portion of the central open space is situated between the back-lighting and image-display panels. A portion of the light emitted into the central open space from the light-emitting elements is reflected by the back-lighting panel toward the image-display panel through which it passes to illuminate an image defined on the image-display panel.

The invention relates to a retractable lighting fixture, comprising an elongated drum rotatable over a length axis; and a flexible multilayer lighting sheet movable between a retracted position and a protracted position, with the multilayer lighting sheet in the retracted position being at least partially retracted in one or more windings around the drum and with the multilayer lighting sheet in the protracted position being fully unwound from the drum; the multilayer lighting sheet being composed of at least one LED layer and at least one diffusing optical layer, the at least one LED layer having a first LED layer edge mounted at a first mounting position of the drum and the at least one diffusing optical layer having a first optical layer edge mounted at a second mounting position of the drum, the first mounting position being located at an arc length from the second mounting position.

A signage display system configured to be mounted to a surface and to support an interchangeable display panel and provide backlighting thereto. A pair of brackets mount the system to a surface or a frame which in turn is mounted to a surface, such as a door using a pair of over-door hooks. A lighting unit is configured to be rotatably mounted to the brackets, the lighting unit having a plurality of light sources. A display unit is configured to be rotatably mounted to the brackets, the display unit including an interchangeable display panel having indicia for display provided thereon that is configured to be backlit by the light sources of the lighting unit. The system configured to easily roll up the lighting unit and the display unit for easy removal from the system, storage, transportation, to simply to access the surface on which the system is mounted.
