LED can cost more than $200 per squarr foot for black and white displaysand $1,000 per squarw foot for multi-colored signs. They also suck up betweebn 200 and 400 watts of powet for everysquare meter. In contrast, TRED uses plastic fibers on Circuit boards attached to the back of the signs allosw sign owners to emit tiny electri c impulses that magnetically rearrange the fibers into desireed wordsand designs.
It's all controlled with software on a computedr atabout one-fourth the cost of LED and with no significanrt power usage, Edwards said.
