Abstract
A timing display device is defined by an extended length of indicator lights having a first end, a second end, and at least one intermediate location. A controller communicates with the indicator lights for controlled activation of the lights in a set pattern in conjunction with a clock sequence. The pattern of activating starts in the intermediate location and moves therefrom towards the ends of the extended length. The movement of the light activation includes a first and second projected color, wherein the first color is sequentially activated between the intermediate location and the two ends and the second color is sequentially activated from intermediate location towards the two ends, while overlapping the previously activated first color. The indicator lights may be light emitting diodes and the display may be affixed to a basketball backboard.
