Wow! I don't think I've ever seen these before. I mean... Of course I've
seen them on the buses, but I didn't actually realise they worked like this.

This seems like it might be an ideal display for my high tide early warning
project, as I had been worried about the problem of direct sunlight for a
regular LED dot matrix display.

Will have to see if one of these will fit...

PLUS

This would be a great shop front display? The council can't complain about
flashing lights in this case.
