Abstract
A visual special effects display device is presented with a control mechanism which enables the unique control and programming of one or more devices simultaneously. The display device may be incorporated into tickets at public events, promotions, toys or other applications. In one embodiment the visual elements are constructed from LEDs and controlled by a combination of a remote transmitter and local switching mechanism. The display devices may be programmed in advance and assigned a unique code which permits the programming of specific images in a large audience. Messages, images and effects may be altered or permanantly programming at any time during the event. Designs include tickets, drink coasters, wands, swords, tops, yo-yos, frisbees, batons, hats, jump ropes and other toys.

14. A handheld, swing display device comprising a plurality of light emitting
means mounted on a support member for providing a virtual image of characters or figures through a swing arc; -
computer means for controlling said light emitting means;
activation means for initiating or controlling the light emitting means having multiple conductive regions affixed to a first member and a conductive region affixed to a second member, such that the deflection of the first member causes the conductive regions to be displaced relatively to the second member to provide radial position data to said computer means. - View Dependent Claims (15)
