    They do need to be that bright at daytime, and most indeed use automatic brightness by default. If only there was a technology that could use daylight instead of fighting it…

        This is in general for LED text signs. The “inventors” (more like engineers because they just combined multiplexing with superbright LEDs) OP mentioned probably didn’t specify a purpose, they just wanted a more reliable alternative to mechanical or manual signage but yes, most are for ads.
