Abstract
A display that contains a sparse array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), system, and method of fabrication are disclosed. The display includes a panel having at least one tile configured to display information. The panel is disposed within or on a transparent material. Each tile includes an array of LEDs, which have a uniform distance therebetween such that light from the array is viewable on opposing sides of the panel while providing visibility through the panel. A darkening layer on at least one side of the panel provides selectable darkening to block the light from exiting the at least one side of the panel.
