Abstract

A multiple display device coordination system (200) and method to provide a singular control mechanism for coordinating flashing display devices for a more coherent appearance. The control mechanism simplifies the control interface (240) between the processing unit (210) and multiple display devices (120, 130) by dedicating an extra common output line, normally associated with a primary display device (120), to a secondary display device (130). The secondary display device (130) is then driven off the common output line and from the same interface as the primary display device (120).
