Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2294148A] A sign element 2 arranged to define an alphanumeric character comprises a casing 4 which houses a printed circuit board 10 and an array of LEDs 12 and is closed by means of an upper member 14 which comprises a planar rectangular smoked panel 16 and an opaque plastics panel 18. The plastics panel 18 includes an opening therein which is in the shape of the alphanumeric character defined by the element and, furthermore, the array of LEDs 12 is also in the shape of the same character. The element 2 incorporates a solar cell, a battery and a light sensing device and is arranged so that, during daylight hours, the battery is recharged, and during darkness, the LEDs are illuminated thereby to illuminate the character defined by the element. A multiplicity of elements 2 may be placed side-by-side on, for example a shop front or the like to define a sign. <IMAGE>
