The signboards with glass light bulbs and sheet plastic of twenty years ago have almost all been replaced, mainly because of the difficulty of maintaining them, while acrylic signs, all the rage six or seven years ago, are fighting for attention on the streets of Taipei with running light boards and computer-controlled display boxes.
廿年前流行的玻璃燈和塑膠布看板，多因保全不易，慨然淘汰；此後自國外引進的壓克力招牌，集商家寵愛於一身，仍然當道；至於跳燈、電腦顯示幕招牌和燈箱則正各據山頭，在台北街頭爭奇鬥艷。
