First Claim
Patent Images
1. A segmented display comprising:
- a display including a plurality of segments, each segment including a light emitting device operative to produce a plurality of colors; and
a controller that drives the segments on an individual basis to allow selective illumination of segments on the display to provide the desired illumination pattern with the illuminated segments, wherein the segments are driven to produce a dynamic display that creates a color changing effect in various segments when displaying the desired illumination pattern.
