Inside this two-layer cotton face mask, there is another thin, moisture-resistant, flexible plastic panel covered with LEDs that are bright enough to show through.

With only 512 pixels, the resolution of this panel is definitely interior to your smartphone, but it is more than enough to show the dynamic message lines. The graphics change in real time to deliver your messages through a mobile app that connects and loads designs onto the panel via Bluetooth.
