Abstract
Described is a remotely programmable control device for use in electroluminescent display and lighting applications. Elements of this invention include a power supply, various inverters/wave form conditioners, a motherboard, inbound/outbound communications capability, motion-sensing devices, ambient light sensing facilities, and a floppy disk reader. Remote programmability is achieved through several methods including detecting the driving instructions from the lamp display itself, or downloading data from a remote network or a floppy disk.
