Abstract
An apparatus, preferably plastic, is configured to be attached to a wall face plate, for example, a face plate for a telephone jack, an electrical power outlet, coaxial jack, fiber optic port, etc., and is configured to display information, such as an identification or extension number. The information display apparatus has a housing with a display face that receives and supports an information panel for displaying the information. A transparent cover is placed over the information panel. The display face can be angled to permit viewing of the information at a vantage point above the wall face plate. The apparatus is attached to the exterior face of the wall face plate by attaching the housing to a screw shaft associated with a face plate screw or by adhering the rear side of the apparatus to the face plate with an adhesive material, including for example, an adhesive foam tape.
