Benefits of technology

[0013] Because of the importance and frequent use of bathrooms, toilet seat lids provide an excellent base for advertising materials that inform the public and / or promote products to patrons of bathrooms. In particular, because such individuals spend prolonged periods of time in bathroom stalls on a daily basis with little else to do but observe their surroundings. Accordingly, advertising materials displayed on toilet seat lids by my invention are likely to be observed frequently, repeatedly and for extended periods of time, providing good value to the advertiser.

Problems solved by technology

However, such electronic display screens are expensive to build and operate, require special wiring for power, must be provided with programming, need periodic maintenance and are subject to vandalism.
Further, it is not attractive to vandals and is durable.
