Abstract

A display sign of the type comprising a back-lighted panel having a plurality of discrete light-transmitting areas and controlled opaque discs which selectively overlie the individual light-transmitting areas to produce a desired visual pattern of light transmitted through the panel. The improvement comprises discrete projections for supporting the individual discs. The arrangement of projections serves as structural reinforcement in the panel.
