Abstract: A manually changeable digital display device capable of displaying the numerals zero through 9 comprises a background panel having an optic or brightly colored face and a one-piece foreground panel adjacent to and parallel with the background panel. The one-piece foreground panel has seven elongated windows or openings which expose seven corresponding segments of the background panel. Each of the windows is covered by a flap which is integrally formed with the foreground panel and is hinged thereto. The desired numerals are formed by opening and closing the appropriate flaps to expose the appropriate corresponding segments thereby displaying the desired numerals. Two or more such digital display units can be arranged side by side to display the numerals 10 through any desired number.
