Abstract
An illuminated display including a base and a pair of waveguides being supported by the base. The waveguides are abutted end-to-end and have bottoms positioned within the base. A reflective strip is sandwiched between the waveguides. A pair of light sources is positioned within the base adjacent the bottoms of the waveguides. Either of the light sources can be selectively energized to illuminate a respective one of the waveguides.

An illuminated display, comprising:
- a base;
- a pair of waveguides being abutted end-to-end and being supported by said base with the bottoms of said waveguides being positioned within said base;
- a mirrored strip being sandwiched between said waveguides;
- and,
- a pair of light sources being positioned within said base adjacent the bottoms of said waveguides and each being adapted for selective energization so as to illuminate a respective one of said waveguides.
