Abstract

Banners and posters are among the most popular advertising medium in the business world in order to promote goods or services. Nevertheless, this medium has its disadvantages, where it costs a lot of money. Preparation of these advertising medium also involves a period of time in designing and printing the required advertisement of goods and services. Each printed advertisement may only be used for the stated promotional purposes. The electronic billboards known as "Electronic Display Board" has been widely used as it is one of the creative innovations in technology for displaying running messages and attractive graphic designs. It also provides the same functionality as banners and posters. Although, electronic display board can attract more people to read it, the device has its own drawbacks. It is relatively expensive for small businesses and it is not mobile friendly. This project is an innovation to the existing electronic display board as it is lighter and portable. This portable device is a combination of six units of 8x8 LED dot-matrix that can display 256 different characters including alphabets, numbers, punctuations, symbols and basic smiley icon. In addition, this device can be controlled using smartphone by downloading the application from Android. This new innovation also uses the Bluetooth system as an interface to connect smartphone with the message display unit.
