AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a device that can be powered through a connector and flexible wire harness. The device can be connected to a control circuitry, which in turn is connected to a power source like a battery or an AC / DC power adapter. The device can also be connected to an AC / DC power converter and an integrated battery pack. A selector switch allows the device to operate in different modes. Overall, the device provides a flexible and versatile way to power it using different power sources.

Problems solved by technology

A problem common to these devices is the size and weight of the devices that often limit how the displays may be mounted.
Additionally, signs such as neon signs require an AC power source to function and are not suited to being mounted in a vehicle window or other application not having ready access to such a power source.

Abstract

This invention relates generally to frame-less luminous displays such as electroluminescent, OLED, and LED displays that are releaseably mounted to a surface using adjustable, removable and / or replaceable adapters. In one embodiment, the invention relates to a thin, frame-less luminous display device which comprises a plurality of thin translucent or transparent layers on which an opaque, graphic layer has been applied and which is illuminated using an electroluminescent light source configured between said transparent or translucent layers. The display device may be further adapted to be releaseably mounted on a surface such as pane of glass using adjustable, removable suction cup type mounting devices.
