Abstract: A planar display communication board includes a frame having a plurality of sides, at least one of the plurality of sides includes a cover member hingedly connected to a functional member, the cover member having a raised position and a closed position, and the functional member including a slot and a shelf. A substrate base sheet is held within the slot of the functional member and an erasable sheet is positioned directly over a flexible media sheet and supported by the shelf. When the cover member is in the raised position, the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet abut for alignment against shelf post extension; and when the cover member is in the closed position, the cover member compresses the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet against the substrate base sheet away from at least one edge of the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet.

Abstract: Systems have a frame, and a substrate base sheet held by the frame. Each system has a media sheet and a substantially transparent erasable sheet held by the frame, with the media sheet being between the substrate sheet and the erasable sheet. The media sheet and the substantially transparent erasable sheet have substantially the same peripheral shape. The erasable sheet is positioned directly over the media sheet and supported by the frame at locations substantially the same as where the frame supports the media sheet. The media sheet may be a durable, long-lasting sheet. One of the media sheet and erasable sheet may have a lifting tab extending away from a peripheral edge thereof, some embodiments having a through-hole.
