Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations
German term or phrase: Flachtransparent
This term is stated on a website dealing with advertising technology/outdoor advertising. Unfortunately, there's no more context provided.

I think that "flat banner" sounds odd (whereas the expression "neon sign" is too general).

TIA for any help.
