Lock the display so a stray tap doesn't stop it, mirror it, or tap the sign to send a ripple across the bulbs. LED CLOCK AND COUNTDOWNS Put a live LED clock on your nightstand, or count down to a birthday, a kickoff or New Year's Eve. DRAW BANNER Paint your own pixel art with mirror and radial symmetry, then play it back on the LED board. TELEPROMPTER Read your script off the screen while you record or speak. Set the pace, size and colors, highlight the current word, and mirror the text for prompter glass. SAVE AND SHARE Keep your banners, drawings and scripts in My Banners.
