  • Patent number: 7596899
    Abstract: A display device (11) having various discrete components (13-17) integrated upon a flexible substrate (12). One side of the flexible substrate (12) is used to mount the discrete components (13-17), while the remaining side of the flexible substrate (12) comprises a releasably-adherent surface (12a) that allows the display device (11) to be releasably mounted to an external receiving surface (10). The discrete components (13-17) have electrical, mechanical, graphical, and/or combinational properties that cooperate to provide a visual display. The visual display can be made viewable when looking toward the exterior side (10a) and/or interior side (10b) of the receiving surface (10). The display device (11) is ideally suited for business signs, residential signs, novelty signs, vehicle signs, advertisements, holiday decorations, and numerous other applications.
