             TRANS-LUX NOT SUCCESSFUL IN NYSE AMEX DELISTING APPEAL

NORWALK, CT., November 12, 2010 - Trans-Lux Corporation (NYSE Amex:  TLX), a
leading supplier of programmable electronic information displays, today
announced that it received a letter dated November 10, 2010 from NYSE Amex LLC
(the "Exchange") informing it that the Listings Qualifications Panel of the
Exchange's Committee on Securities (the "Panel") has affirmed the determination
to delist Trans-Lux's Common Stock as of November 17, 2010.

Trans-Lux may request a review by the full Committee on Securities within 15
calendar days from November 10, 2010, however, such a request will not operate
as a stay of the Panel's decision.  The Exchange, therefore, has informed
Trans-Lux that it will suspend trading in Trans-Lux's Common Stock as soon as
practicable and will file an application with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to strike Trans-Lux's Common Stock from listing and registration on
the Exchange when and if authorized.

The delisting also extends to the Company's 8.25% Limited Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes (CUSIP 893247AE6) set to mature in 2012.

J.M. Allain, Trans-Lux's Chief Executive Officer, advised, "We are very
disappointed to lose our listing after 85 years with the Exchange.  The loss
will make our turnaround efforts more difficult.  The key was and continues to
be the debt holders of the company who have failed to engage in negotiations
over a restructuring of their notes in a fair and equitable way.  The Company
has indicated to the 8.25% Note Holders, for instance, that they would receive a
substantial premium over the current market value in a restructuring.  Many Note
Holders are apparently holding out for



more.  They fail to understand that the Company will not offer more and that
they will get much less in an in-court restructuring."

Trans-Lux is considering all of its options, including a possible appeal.  They
also have not ruled out a Chapter 11 filing to implement the restructuring plan
that is currently on the table with the creditors.  "I have always maintained
that everyone loses in a bankruptcy, but the creditors will force my hand if
they continue to impede our restructuring efforts," Mr. Allain concluded.
