Several times in the past I've seen home-brewed and perhaps
CPU-driven signs that consist of a single vertical line of
perhaps a dozen or two LEDs.
This has been done a number of times. One of the early electronic magazines
had a clock that you needed to scan your eyes over to read the time. A
friend of mine designed a pendulum for an art show with the LED section
about 6 feet long or so where graphics could be displayed. I don't recall a
name ever being associated with this type of display. It would be a
*really* fun thing to do now that multicolor LEDs are available and a full
color graphics unit could be done fairly "easily".
