  • a secondary object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor display device which assures that the content of display can arbitrarily be changed, and moreover, the displaying timing and the displaying time can arbitrarily be controlled without any necessity for exchanging the display plate with another one or rewriting the content of display.
  • an outdoor display device including road guide display plates or road mark plates installed on the road side or on the road by means of supporting members such as a support column, a pole, a mounting beam or the like, wherein another display plate having advertisement, campaign, public message or the like displayed thereon each having a suitable content is attached to the rear surface side of the road guide display plates or the road mark plates while it is supported by the road guide display plate, the road mark plate or the supporting members.
  • an outdoor display device including a road guide display plate or a road mark plate installed on the road side or on the road by means of a supporting member such as a support column, a pole, a mounting beam or the like, wherein an additive display portion having a plurality of light emitting members such as LEDs, miniature bulbs or the like arranged on the whole area thereof in the planar relationship is formed on the rear side of the road guide display plate or the road mark plate or the lateral side of the latter while having a certain size, and a pattern of turning on or intermittently turning on the light emitting members is controlled in such a manner that characters, figures and marks are combined with each other to exhibit a certain content to be displayed.
  • a supporting member such as a support column, a pole, a mounting beam or the like
  • a plurality of additive display portions each including a plurality of planar light emitting members are disposed along the road, and a display surface of each additive display portion is connected to a display control computer via a communication line, the computer controlling a content of display.
  • the computer is connected to one or all of road controllers of Japan Road Association, traffic police sections, Weather Agency, various mass communication organizations via a telephone line(s) or an exclusively usable line(s).
  • the content of display is road traffic information, various kind of news, weather forecast, official report of governmental of public enterprise, advertisement of a company and a combination of the aforementioned items suitably combined thereamong.
  • the display time is controlled by a timer.
  • an advertisement plate(s) when, e.g., an advertisement plate(s) is disposed at a location on, e.g., a support beam of which one surface is uselessly left, a so-called dead space can effectively be utilized, and moreover, the content of display of the advertisement plate can individually be changed and the display timing and the display time can be controlled. Consequently, a so-called dead space of the support beam can usefully be utilized, and the advertisement plate can exhibit an excellent display effect.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an outdoor display device of the present invention wherein the present invention is applied to a conventional display device shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of on outdoor display device which shows by way of another example that the present invention is applied to the conventional display device shown in Fig. 3.
