Abstract
The present invention provides a system which integrates unique lighting technologies, switching systems, mounting systems, information delivery systems and power supply systems within a support such as vehicular wheel to provide an advanced, high quality visual display apparatus in various surfaces of rotation. A displayed image may be three dimensional. These technologies, and their many unique applications, provide for a novel and useful series of video display devices that are small, lightweight, efficient and can have the capability of producing a clear, bright, high definition image that is equivalent to that of a modern day TV or high quality computer monitor.
Claims21
A rotational display system including:
- a computer for operator controlled storage and recall of images, said computer in electrical communication with a rotatable assembly, said computer configured to deliver instructions to said rotatable assembly regarding the display of at least one visual image so that said image is displayed on said rotatable assembly without bending the horizontal ground plane around an axis of rotation of said rotatable assembly;
- said rotatable assembly constructed and arranged to display said at least one visual image transferred from said computer, said rotatable assembly including an illuminating assembly, wherein said illuminating assembly includes at least one illuminating element, wherein said rotatable assembly is constructed and arranged for attachment to a wheel for rotation therewith, said wheel constructed and arranged for rotation about said axis of rotation;
- wherein operator selectable images may be displayed during rotation of said wheel about said axis of rotation.
A rotational display system including:
- a computer for storage and recall of data representing at least one visual image;
- a controller in electrical communication with the computer and operable to receive at least some of said data;
- a rotatable assembly for displaying an image represented by at least a portion of the data transferred from said computer to the controller, said rotatable assembly including an illuminating assembly, said illuminating assembly being operably connected to said controller, said illuminating assembly including at least one illuminating element, said rotatable assembly being constructed and arranged for attachment to a support for rotation about an axis;
- a power delivery means for providing power to said rotatable assembly;
- and
- an image represented by, said data transferred from said computer to the controller displayed by said rotatable assembly;
- during rotation of said rotatable assembly, said image displayed without bending the horizontal ground plane around said axis.
