One of the lights of the embodiment is shown as _. A plurality of multi-color light-emitting diodes 12 are fixed on the earth plate U as display fingers: for example, a rigid-based multi-color light-emitting diode. In one embodiment, each of the multi-color LEDs 12 can emit: different colors of visible light, for example, red-yellow and green light can be emitted, and fixed and replaced by two, three or more pins. Sexually connected to the substrate u. In addition to the solid-state light-emitting diode 12, the substrate n has a circuit layout to control the operation of the multi-color LED 12 . The substrate 11 may comprise a generally rigid printed circuit board or a flexible circuit board. Secondly, the arrangement of the multi-color LEDs 12 on the substrate 11 may be a regular two-dimensional shape, for example, the rectangles may be arranged in a regular circular or other irregular shape according to the design. According to the above, the indicator number, whether it is a color indication type (such as red, yellow or green), graphic or graphic combination indication type (such as single arrow, double arrow, combination of point and arrow 'triangle or 'X') A symbol or the like) or a digital indicator type (for example, time display, timing or countdown), or even a text indicating type (for example, Chinese or English) is displayed by the array of the multi-color LEDs 12 on the single substrate 11. The embodiment of the present invention can display a plurality of indicator numbers as needed without adding an additional light number device, thereby reducing the inconvenience of setting the additional light number device. In view of the above, the present invention is suitable for use in general transportation systems, indications of public places, warning or control personnel or time, and can also be applied to general construction warnings. 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D are schematic views showing the lamp number display according to several embodiments of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 2A, a plurality of diodes on the substrate can be divided into a plurality of regions 2a, 20b and 20c. In the case of a forward pass, 1354247 a plurality of diodes located in the region 20a do not display color light, and a plurality of diodes in the region 20b display green light and display a forward single arrow pattern. The plurality of diodes located on the area 20c display two digits to indicate the minutes and seconds of the count or countdown. It should be noted that the area 20c is located in the range of the area 20b, and in order to compare the number on the area 20c with the green single arrow pattern in the area 20b, the diode on the area 20c may not display color light or display different colors. The color of the diode of region 20b. In the above embodiment, the color light displayed by the plurality of diodes in the region 20b may be associated with the number in the region 20c, for example, when the number in the region 20c indicates a countdown and it is close to zero seconds, in the region 20b. The color light displayed by the diode can be converted to yellow by the original green pass (not shown), and the single arrow image before 20b is converted into a triangle warning graphic to remind. Fig. 2B shows a case where the warning lamp number is switched, and the explanation area 2b shown in Fig. 2C shows a green double arrow pattern which is a two-way turn, and Fig. 2D shows a red cross pattern which is prohibited from passing. It should be noted that, in addition to the fact that the number of the area 20c is dynamic, the diodes in the area 20b can also be noticed by the cooperation of no flickering, flickering or other display methods. According to the above, for a person with a color recognition obstacle, the indicator number in the identification area 20b can be recognized to identify the indicator number. At this time, even if the LED color light in the area 20b cannot be recognized, the identification number can be recognized. . Figure 3 is a block diagram of a lamp number control system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The signal control system 30 includes a primary control unit 301, one or more color units 303, one or more graphics units 302, and a time display unit 304. In one embodiment, the signal control system 30 controls the display of the entire array of consecutively arranged diodes of FIG. The main control unit 301 is electrically connected to the color unit 303, the graphic unit 302, and the time display unit 304. The main control unit 301 outputs a color light command to the color unit 303, a graphic command to the graphic unit 302, and a time command to the time display unit 304. Main Controls 7 1354247 Unit 301 accepts an external control or remote control mode (not shown) or uses a memory storage program to emit the desired color and graphics commands. Secondly, the main control unit 301 contains a counter to issue the required time command. Color unit 303, graphics unit 302, and time display unit 304 are coupled to each other to display the correct color, pattern, and time at the correct time by the array of diodes. In application, in conjunction with the description of FIGS. 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D, the main control unit 301 outputs a color light command to the graphic unit 302, thereby determining whether the graphic displayed by the diode array is the 2A map or the 2B graph or the 2C graph or Figure 2D figure. After determining the pattern (taking the graph of FIG. 2A as an example), the main control unit 301 outputs a graphic command to the color unit 303, thereby determining that the diode of the region 20a of the diode array does not emit color light and the diode of the region 20b. The body emits green light. Further, the main control unit 301 outputs a time command to the time display unit 304 based on the counter, thereby determining the number displayed by the area 20c.
