1. A self-contained display sticker with an electronically controlled dynamic display, comprising:
- a flexible sheet having front and back surfaces and printed indicia on said front surface;
an adhesive applied to said back surface of said flexible sheet;
a dynamic indicator; and
a printed circuit board smaller in surface area than said flexible sheet mounted on the back surface of said flexible sheet, said printed circuit board having integrally mounted thereon a signal generator IC having an output connected to said dynamic indicator, and a battery power source with a capacity less than or equal to 200 mA-hr electrically connected to said signal generator IC as the sole power source for said IC and said dynamic indicator.

Abstract
A display sticker with integral LED flasher circuit and power source adapted to be adhesively affixed to and readily removed from a fabric article. A printed circuit board having an LED, a control circuit and a battery is adhesively affixed to the back surface of a thin flexible sheet having printed indicia on its front surface. A rubber-based, pressure-sensitive adhesive is provided on the back surface of the flexible sheet to adhere the circuit board thereto, and also to adhere the sticker assembly to a fabric article such as an article of clothing.

11. A method of attracting attention to a display sticker bearing printed indicia on a front surface thereof and adhesive means applied to a back surface thereof for removably adhesively affixing said sticker to a mounting surface, comprising:
-
integrally mounting on a printed circuit board smaller in surface area than said sticker a control circuit means for energizing a dynamic indicator to operate in a humanly perceptible manner to attract attention to said printed indicia on said front surface of said display sticker, and a battery power source with a capacity less than or equal to 200 mA-hr electrically connected to said control circuit means as the sole power source for said control circuit means and said dynamic indicator; and
adhesively affixing said printed circuit board with said integrally mounted control circuit means and battery power source to said back surface of said display sticker, thereby producing a self-contained, electronically controlled, dynamic display sticker. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
