Abstract
This application is based on and is a continuation of my co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/010,556, filed Nov. 8, 2001, for Remote Control Electronic Display System and which is, in turn, a continuation-in-part of my U.S. utility patent application Ser. No. 09/500,284, filed Feb. 8, 2000, for Remote Control Electronic Display System (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,215,411 B1, dated Apr. 10, 2001) and which is, in turn, a continuation of my U.S. utility patent application Ser. No. 09/295,894, filed Apr. 21, 1999, for Remote Control Electronic Display System (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,384,736 B1, dated May 7, 2002) and which is, in turn, a continuation-in-part of my U.S. utility patent application Ser. No. 09/132,456, filed Aug. 11, 1998 (now abandoned) and which is, in turn, based on and claims priority from my U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/083,597, filed Apr. 30, 1998 (now expired).

8. A display apparatus capable of generating a display from electronic signals generated and transmitted to said apparatus from a remote source, said display apparatus comprising:
-
a) an outer housing being locatable at any of a plurality of fixed locations;
b) a relatively thin high resolution display panel on said housing and being observable to a group of viewers;
c) self-contained computer controlled processor means associated with said housing and being operable with said display panel said processor means receiving digital electronic signals from a remote source and which contain data related to the displays to be generated, said processor means also causing generation of displays on the display panel based on the digital signals received from the remote source for presentation of the displays. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A display system for generating an image on a display member and allowing for enhancing the image which may be displayed thereon, said display system comprising:
-
a) an outer housing;
b) a display panel on said housing and being observable to a viewer; and
c) a dedicated computer means in proximity of said housing and dedicated only to the operation of said display system, said computer means operating on the basis of a series of sequential programmed instructions at a predetermined time or on a real time basis, said computer means controlling the image presented on said display panel, said computer means capable of altering the manner in which a display is generated on the screen and capable of providing computer generated effects on a display on the display panel and thereby modify the image displayed on said display panel. - View Dependent Claims (18, 22, 23)

19. A process for generating a display on an image display apparatus from signals from a remote source, said process comprising:
-
a) providing a flat panel display member having a high resolution display screen at a location having viewing accessibility;
b) generating a display at a remote source and converting the display as generated to equivalent digital electronic signals representative of a plurality of individual images;
c) transmitting said electronic signals to a dedicated processor in association with said display member and operating said display member;
d) causing generation of a plurality of individual successively presented images on said display member based on the transmitted electronic signals; and
e) positioning the display device at a generally fixed location for displaying of such images. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

24. A display apparatus for generating a display in the form of successively displayed images at a generally fixed location, said display apparatus comprising:
-
a) an electronically operable flat display panel with wide angle viewing for displaying such successively displayed images;
b) self-contained computer operated processing means associated with said display apparatus for generating a plurality of displays from electronic signals containing information relating to the displays and which signals are delivered from a remote source; and
c) memory means associated with said display apparatus forming part of said processing means and storing information delivered from a remote source in digital signal format as digital signals and allowing the digital signals to be reconverted to visible images which are displayed at the display panel, thereby enabling the displays to be presented on a large screen format, and where a large number of different displays are storable in said memory means and displayed at time selected periods independently of external electronic signals from a remote source. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A method for generating a plurality of displays at a display generating remote source and electronically transmitting the displays to a readily transportable display apparatus located at a substantial distance from the remote source for presentation at the display apparatus, said method comprising:
-
a) electronically generating a plurality of displays at a display generating remote source with each in the form of visual images;
b) converting the visual images to corresponding electronic signals at the display generating remote source;
c) transmitting the electronic signals to a self-contained computer processing means associated with the display apparatus;
d) storing the electronic signals representative of the images in the form of digital signals in a memory means associated with said computer processing means and which is also associated with the display apparatus;
e) positioning the display apparatus at a fixed location for operation at that fixed location for a display of the images; and
f) re-converting the digital signals into corresponding visual images and displaying same on the display apparatus thereby enabling the images to be presented on a large screen format. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35)
