Therefore, if it is desired to change the display contents, two operations are essential: producing a new printed matter and replacing the new printed matter with the previous printed matter. However, if you try to perform the latter of the above two tasks, especially in cases such as trains, where the train fleet is generally long and there are many places to post advertisements, etc., it will be very time consuming, so it is not easy. do not have.

In particular, the work of peeling off advertising media etc. directly attached to the window glass of a vehicle is more labor-intensive. In addition, it is difficult to increase the content and amount of information to be announced while reducing the burden of the labor-intensive tasks mentioned above, as a large space is required to display advertising media. There's a problem.

As is clear from the above content, in the conventional method of posting printed matter in a predetermined place as an advertising medium or information notification medium, the work of producing printed matter and replacing the printed matter that has already been published with new printed matter is difficult. This requires a lot of time and effort, and unless there is sufficient space for publication, there is a problem in that the contents and amount of information of advertisements and notices are limited.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to avoid changing or updating the contents of advertisements and announcements without requiring a great deal of effort, and to change the contents of advertisements and announcements over time. To provide an information display device capable of displaying a large amount of information, advertisements, and announcements without requiring a large display space.

We assumed a case where it is impossible to send information pattern data by wire transmission, such as when 20-ON is installed, but if it is possible to send information pattern data to display board 20-ON by wire, It goes without saying that the information pattern data may be transmitted by wired transmission. If the display board 20~ON according to this embodiment is improved to a thin hanging type or wall-mounted type, it can be easily installed at an appropriate location on a hanging strap or wall surface in a vehicle without requiring a large space.

As explained above, according to an embodiment according to the present invention, a plurality of information patterns given to the second storage area of the memory section 22 are sequentially displayed on the pattern display section 23 as time passes.
Since the display contents on the pattern display section 23 can be automatically updated over time, advertisements and announcements with high attention can be made. Therefore, it can be used for commercial advertisements and various information announcements inside vehicles such as trains (particularly Shinkansen vehicles, etc.) and indoors. Furthermore, by sending a control signal from the wireless transmitter 10 to each display board 20 to ON, the stored contents of all the memory units 22 of each display board 20 to ON can be updated in a very short time, which is different from the conventional method. There is no longer a need for extremely labor-intensive work such as replacing printed matter.

Note that in this embodiment, the external pattern creation device 26
and the wireless transmitter 10 may be configured separately, or the wireless transmitter 10 or the external pattern generating device 26 may be built into the wireless transmitter 10 by, for example, incorporating the external pattern generating device 26 into the wireless transmitter 10.
