Abstract: An apparatus for displaying one of the four playing card suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades) includes a plurality of segments for being selectively illuminated. The segments are configured in the shape of the four playing card suits with all four suits being overlaid one over the others, and the segments are arranged so that some of the segments form parts of different playing card suits. The segments are illuminated in sets so that the illuminated segments form any one of the four playing card suits. In a preferred embodiment, the segments are configured into a first group that forms a quadrangle and a second group of segments that form arches extending between the corners of the quadrangle and lying outside of the quadrangle.
