Scrolling messages can be created using a "block lettering" method, where each character is displayed on a rectangular 5x7 dot matrix array of LEDs. In the sample shown here, eight character blocks have been attached to the front half of a knit cap. |

The control circuit and power supply are hidden in the back portion of the knit hat cuff. A single 9V battery powers this hat for about 6 hours. The scrolling message boards can display text messages and graphical patterns, such as the zig-zag designs shown below.

how to order
Block-letter-style scrolling message boards are available on a made-to-order basis, and can be attached to knit caps (as shown here), other hats, and other types of clothing. While the lighting effects are similar to our other methods for displaying scrolling text, the simplified design of the block lettering method makes it considerably less expensive.
The cost is $100 for the control board, plus $40 per display character, plus the cost of the hat or other garment. So, an 8-character display is $420, and a 4-character display is $260. Standard light colors are red, orange, and green, although other colors may be available for an additional charge.
Please see our custom orders page for more information.
