The present invention provides a lighting system for use within a display
sign, wherein the lighting system comprises a first module having a
multi-layer circuit board and an arrangement of components electrically
connected to the circuit board. The component arrangement includes a
driver control chip that provides regulated voltage to the light emitting
diodes, at least one surface mounted resistor, and a pair of light
emitting diodes wherein each diode is mounted to a longitudinal end
portion of the circuit board. Thus, the driver control chip is positioned
between the light emitting diodes. The component arrangement further
includes a high-frequency capacitor that filters undesired electrical
noise and a rectifying diode that converts electrical potential from
alternating current to direct current. A second module is electrically
connected to the first module by a pair of flexible conductor wires. The
second module includes a multi-layer circuit board and an arrangement of
components electrically connected to the circuit board. The component
arrangement of the second module is similar to that of the first module,
wherein a light emitting diode is mounted to each longitudinal end
portion of the circuit board.
