Abstract:
A display system is provided, including a rigid or non-rigid display surface having a display side and a non-display side, with one or more holes being formed through the surface. In one embodiment the display surface is a non-rigid curtain. Multiple fasteners define central openings in and are arranged on the display side of the display surface, such that the central opening of each fastener is aligned with the holes. The system also includes light strings containing one or more light nodes. The light nodes include a light source, such as an LED or other suitable light source. The light strings and light nodes are arranged so that each light source protrudes from the non-display side of the display surface, through a corresponding hole to the display side of the display surface, and through the central opening of a corresponding fastener. The fastener is fixedly secured to the light node by compressing the fastener against the display side of the display surface and compressing the light node against the non-display side of the display surface.
