  • Patent number: 9373276
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, an LED block display apparatus for providing an educational function comprises: a plurality of LED blocks that include a plurality of color LEDs; and a controller for providing a text completion function using the LED blocks. The controller transmits a text display signal for displaying glow text to the LED blocks so that the text can be displayed as being glow by the LED blocks. When the LED block related to the text display signal is clicked, the controller transmits a first color change signal for changing color to the clicked LED block, and outputs a notification signal when colors of the LED blocks related to the text display signal are all changed.
