Abstract
An electronic device feature display system for displaying information concerning the features inherent in a consumer electronics product having a limited number of alpha-numeric generating display segments thereon helps distinguish the product from its competitors while on the display shelf. One suitable use is for the fluorescent display panel of a video cassette recorder which may utilize a letter scrolling mode to form a continuous display of product features. Routines to make the feature banner practical on the sales floor are also discussed.
