Abstract: The present invention relates to articles with light-emitting elements, such as light-emitting diodes, associated therewith, and which are energizable in sequences to provide desired visual displays. The article, preferably in the form of an article of clothing, comprises a material, usually a fabric material, having a plurality of holes arranged in a predetermined pattern. A plurality of light-emitting elements, such as the diodes, are mounted on a substrate, preferably a flexible and foldable type of printed circuit board and which diodes are sized to project through the holes so as to render an appearance that they are mounted on the surface of the fabric. A sequencer energizes the lights in a preferred sequence. In one aspect of the invention, the lights are energized with respect to an image printed on the fabric so as to depict a motion with respect to the image.
