    What is this digital sign called?


    Have you ever been in a small business and they have a small digital marquee that has scrolling messages (e.g. specials on food)?

    The ones I have seen are maybe 12" - 18" wide and maybe 4" high and 4" deep. (Basically looks like a 4X4 block of wood!)

    If so, what are those called??

    I can't find one because I don't know what it is called!

    I see you are in the U.S.

    Certainly you have been to a small shop or diner where the owner has one of these little digital boxes that has a scrolling message on it?

    It might have the store's hours, or specials on the menu, or sales on mechandise.

    Don't know what they're called but sounds like the digital signs in a doctors surgery where the message scrolls across from left to right showing the next patient wanted along with the name of the doctor they are to see.

    Hi Joan!

    Interesting. I haven't seen one at a doctor's office here in the U.S., but yes, that is what I am trying to describe. :)

    I don't know if all doctors have them over here but our doctors do, every time it beeps a new message scrolls across asking for the next one.

    The doctor is in his room and just types in the name of who he wants to see next, they're all done on timed appointments, not sure if it's a separate consul or his computer but it gets sent electronically to the sign in the waiting room where everyone is sitting and waiting. :)

    For anyone here in the U.S., if I put one of those "Digital Information Displays" in my rear windshield, do you think I'd get in trouble with law enforcement?

    I found one online that is 26" x 4" and I don't think that would be too obtrustive...
