A display system, comprising:
- a frame having a rectangular shape with four sides and is open on two opposed faces, the frame defining a space therein between two sidewalls, a top wall and a base, wherein the base forms two cavities extending parallel to at least a portion of the frame;
- two rollers disposed, one each, into the two cavities, each of the two rollers being rotatably supported relative to the base;
- two banners, each banner having one end attached to a respective one of the two rollers and another end connected to a draw bar extending in parallel with the two rollers;
- and at least one light emitting device connected to the frame and disposed within the space defined in the frame;
- wherein each of the two banners is retractable into the base by being rolled onto the respective one of the two rollers to which each of the two banners is connected;
- wherein each of the two banners is extendable to cover one of the two opposed faces that is open between a retracted position, in which the banner is rolled onto one of the two rollers and disposed within the cavity in the base, and an extended position, in which the draw bar is connected to the top wall and the banner is at least partially unrolled from the respective roller;
