PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR TEXTILE APPLICATIONS
First Claim
1. A portable electronic display system comprising:
- a display module, the display module comprising a rigid printed circuit board having an LED driver, a plurality of light emitting diodes arranged linearly and attached to the printed circuit board, and a terminal board in proximity to the printed circuit board and in communication with the LED driver, the printed circuit board being arranged sequentially with the terminal board;
a processor board including a memory storage element, the processor board being in communication with the terminal board of the display module;
means for flexibly connecting the terminal board to the printed circuit board and to the processor board;
a textile substrate, the textile substrate having an inner surface and an outer surface, the outer surface being configured with a pocket having a light-transmitting cover surface, wherein the display modules are housed within the pocket, such that the light emitting diodes are adjacent the light-transmitting cover surface; and
a battery, the battery being in electrical communication with the terminal board and being located proximate to the textile substrate;
wherein the memory storage element provides instructions to the LED driver to selectively control the light emitting diodes and thereby produce an updateable display image.
