Multi-Sided Display Sign Apparatus

[Category : - Advertising methods]
[Viewed 3316 times]

Description: Invention is designed for outdoor advertising of the rotating elements class.

The invention is called: Multi-Sided Display Sign Apparatus.
It is patented in the U.S. and the number is: US 7,509,762.
It is also patented in Europe (EPO): EP 1,729,275.


The “Multi Sided Display Sign Apparatus” is a higher evolution of the popular “Tri-vision” displays in that it uses prisms of square cross section instead of prisms of triangular sections. It uses an ingenious system to displace alternate prisms so that they can rotate without clashing. For this reason it can display four different visuals sequentially (instead of only three) and depending on the mode of use, it can display separate visuals on its front and rear surfaces at the same time.

MODE OF OPERATION
This system can function in at least four (4) main modes:
(1) The first mode of operation involves mounting the display board on a wall or mounted in such way that only the front of the unit is used, it displays basically four different (without LED arrays) advertisements in succession.

(2) The second mode involves using the front and rear surfaces of the unit at the same time. In this mode any two different advertisements can be displayed in succession on the front surface and a further two successive advertisements can displayed on rear surface of the billboard. (without LED arrays)
This system is the only known billboard of this type in the world capable of displaying advertisements on its front and rear surfaces simultaneously.
To use all the popular systems in a localized front and back arrangement, it is necessary to use two separate units of those, mounted back-to-back.
This singular advantage (without mentioning the possibility of displaying more than three advertisements) makes our system superior to the existing systems.

(3) The third mode is a composite mode in that several of the modules as described above can be combined into a large outer frame (matrix) forming a billboard of large format having several modules in it enabling the display of several combinations of advertisement in succession.

(4) The fourth mode is a very versatile mode in that, LED arrays are installed on some of the faces of the prisms and it can, in this mode, be used in any or a combination of the above modes, transforming this display system into the most, versatile, extraordinary and magical signage system on the planet! With LED arrays installed, it will display dynamic images on its front and rear surfaces simultaneously. For normal LED display boards to be used in this way, it is necessary to mount two of those back to back!


In addition, the dimensions of the square prisms (length of the prism sides) can be made similar to that existing apparatus of clients, enabling operators to continue to use their existing methods of installing or pasting advertisements, thereby reducing the cost of upgrading to our system.
. The patents are valid till, May, 2026.

A Youtube video animation of the billboard is available. Please use the link below. Link

Because my invention can carry LED strips on some of its faces, it can be programmed to operate in LED mode or standard mode operating as a LED/rotating display hybrid.


Financial information

I am looking for an outright sale of the patent

I will consider $350,000 (US) for the U.S. patent


Compared to LED displays of similar display size, this system can be made at a fraction (less than 20%) of the cost. Compared to the existing tri-vision displays this system can made at about 10% more but with up to a 50% advantage because it has four faces instead of the usual "three" faces of the Tri-vision display and this system can display front and back simultaneously.
Also, it can function as LED hybrid.
