Abstract
A flickering display system has: a display, a microprocessor, one or more light emitting diodes and digital memory, the memory storing one or more digital images of a lighted candle. Under control of the microprocessor, the digital images are displayed on the display and the diodes activate in a flame area of the candle such that, when viewed, the digital images and diodes appear like a real candle. Optionally the system includes an aroma generator that produces a scent similar to the scent produced when burning a scented candle.

A flickering display system, comprising:
- a display, a microprocessor, one or more light emitting diodes and digital memory, the memory storing one or more digital images of a lighted candle, wherein, under control of the microprocessor, the display displays the digital images and the diodes activate in a flame area of the candle such that, when viewed, the digital images and diodes appear like a real candle.
A method for generating an appearance of a candle, comprising:
- generating an image of the candle on an LCD display;
- and
- utilizing one or more LEDs to brighten a flame area of the candle.
A scented flickering display system, comprising:
- a display, a microprocessor, one or more light emitting diodes, an aroma generator and digital memory, the memory storing one or more digital images of a lighted candle, wherein, under control of the microprocessor, the display displays the digital images and the diodes activate in a flame area of the candle such that, when viewed, the digital images and diodes appear like a real candle, and the aroma generator, under control of the microprocessor, generates a scented candle aroma.
