A pre-programmed device and method for forming and displaying images includes: electrically powered light emitters in one or more rows that can be moved in a path generally perpendicular with the row of lights; a microprocessor(s) controlling the lights; motion or speed sensors which enable the display device; and a source of electrical power within, on, or connected to the display device is provided. The microprocessor turns the individual electrically powered light emitters on and off in a time-controlled manner to display graphics, words or messages when the display device is moved at or above a rate of speed required to be seen by humans.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A pre-programmed device for displaying images, comprising:(a) a plurality of electrically powered light emitters in one or more generally continuous rows, the display device being capable of being moved in a path generally perpendicular with the row of lights;(b) at least one microprocessor, the light emitters being under direct control of at least one microprocessor;(c) at least one motion or speed sensor within the display device; and(d) a source of electrical power within, on, or connected to the display device; and(e) at least one input/output microprocessor pin on the microprocessor;wherein at least one input/output microprocessor pin drives at least one multicolor light emitting diode; andwherein at least one of the sensors enables the microprocessor; and the microprocessor turns individual light emitters on and off in a time-controlled manner, in order that graphics, words or messages are displayed when the display device is moved at or above a rate of speed sufficient to be viewed by humans.
