| New Technologies : TC-2000 Display | <%=Date%> |
The TC-1000 is a display that will allow automobile drivers to communicate via a visual, semi-high resolution, LED display. The TC-1000 uses pre-programmed bumper stickers or phase modules, designed exclusively for the unit. Each module contains phrases, fonts, graphics, and layouts unique for each bumper sticker. The display can be used in either the front or rear windows, mounted externally, or other places. The unit can hold up to twelve messages in memory, selected from any module, to be re-displayed individually or in a slow sequential order.
The phrase modules are sold separately and contain approximately 20 to 30 bumper stickers each. Each phrase module consists of high quality text and graphics to complement and highlight every bumper sticker. The phrase modules will have various sayings and phrases based on pre-selected categories and topics. The TC-1000 can hold up to 10 phrase modules. The TC-1000 form and fit is compatible with existing automotive audio equipment. The control unit can mount under the dash using standard mounting brackets or inside the dash in the same manner as any typical aftermarket equipment. 
The control unit and displays will operate using the standard 12 volts DC from the automotive electrical system. Each unit will contain battery back-up for emergency display. The unit can be connected to the break lights or turn signals, as an enhancement to standard signaling. The controls are easily accessible by the driver and allow for quick and easy display changes. The TC-1000 is processor dependent and is scaleable for future software upgrades through model slots. 
The following is the standard feature set of the TC-1000:
