Create the LED sign message
Start with the fact the reader needs: a name, direction, offer, greeting, status, or celebration. Keep it short enough to remain large on the phone.
Choose static text for instant recognition. Switch to scrolling when a useful phrase would otherwise become too small.
Prepare the phone for display
Raise brightness for the environment, enable Focus or Do Not Disturb, lock the preferred orientation, and keep the device charged.
Hold or mount the phone where it does not block your view, distract traffic, or interfere with other people. Follow venue and local rules.
- Landscape for wide phrases
- Portrait for one word or number
- Dark background for an LED-style look
- Slow movement for readable scrolling

Phone LED sign guide FAQ
Can any phone become an LED sign?
A modern phone browser can show big static or scrolling text. The LED Banner companion app is available for iPhone and iPad.
What colors make a phone look like an LED sign?
Bright white, yellow, cyan, green, or pink text on a very dark background creates a clear illuminated-sign effect.
Do I need scrolling text for an LED sign?
No. Static text is better for short names, prices, and directions. Use scrolling for a longer greeting or announcement.
