Abstract (en)

A reel apparatus includes: a plurality of display panels which are fixedly disposed at predetermined positions; a plurality of reels respectively having reel strips which are installed to independently rotate with respect to a single axis in a state of respectively covering a front surface of the display panels; a plurality of driving motors for respectively rotating the reels; and a controller for controlling image display operation of the display panel based on a signal representing rotation speed of the reel strips such that images of the display panels rotate respectively in response to a rotation speed of the reel strips. Instead of providing a plurality of display panels for each reel, one fixed display panel is provided for each reel and image displayed on the display panel rotates, so each reel requires only one display panel and thereby a manufacturing cost can be reduced.
