Patent attributes
An illuminated display system and method for prioritizing medical care administered to an injured user, such a soldier in battlefield settings. The illuminated display system may be applied to triage scenarios whereby illuminated signals visually provide the triage status of an injured user at a distance and in low-visibility settings. In particular, the illuminated display system includes a plurality of light emitters. Each light emitter from the plurality of light emitters provides a different predetermined wavelength of light than the other light emitters from the plurality of light emitters. In operation, each respective predetermined wavelength of light provides information relating to the degree of injury or other information associated with the user such that a desired light emitter is selected to display the desired wavelength and, ultimately, the desired information. In one exemplary embodiment, the illuminated display system further includes an interchangeable dial lens in operative engagement with the plurality of light emitters and having a combination of optical modifiers and light filters to enhance the overall visibility of light emitted from the dial lens to the surrounding environment.
