What Is an Electronic Message Center or Message Center Sign?
An electronic message center — also known as a message center sign, digital sign, programmable LED message board, LED marquee, or outdoor digital display — is a weather-sealed LED screen that can be programmed to show scheduled messages, graphics, time/temperature, and video. EMCs are the modern replacement for changeable-copy signs and backlit cabinet signs.
Common applications include gas station price signs, school marquees, church monument signs, auto dealership specials, restaurant menu boards, and municipal announcement signs.
