Individually controllable light emitting diode modules for displaying defined patterns

A method for displaying defined patterns on a temporary or permanent display system comprising a plurality of individually controllable light emitting diode modules (LEDs) comprising:

• installing a set of cables, comprising at least a first cable and a second cable, providing three or more three conductive wires insulated from one another comprising at least one reference voltage wire, a positive voltage wire and a data wire;
• detachably attaching a plurality of strips between the first cable and the second cable along a defined longitudinal distribution, the reference voltage, the positive voltage and the data being received therefrom by the plurality of strips, each of the plurality of strips comprising a subset of the individually controllable LEDs positioned therealong in a defined transverse distribution;
• and
• sending lighting instructions for the plurality of individually controllable LEDs over the data wire, the lighting instructions being set considering the defined longitudinal distribution of the plurality of strips and the defined transverse distribution along each of the plurality of strips in order to provide the defined patterns.

A method of fabricating a cable for use in a temporary or permanent display system comprising a plurality of individually controllable light emitting diode modules (LEDs) positioned on a plurality of strips, the method comprising:

• providing a cable, comprising two or more conductive wires insulated from one another, under controlled tension in an assembly machine;
• in the assembly machine, providing a first strip receiver component and a second strip receiver component each comprising at least two through-contact brackets isolated from one another each comprising a piercing end through a first surface of the strip receiver component and a PCB-compatible electrical contact point through a second surface opposite from the first surface of the strip receiver;
• in the assembly machine, while the cable is under controlled tension, fixably positioning the first strip receiver component of a first connector at a first location on the cable, wherein the through-contact brackets of the first strip receiver provide electric connection towards corresponding ones of the two or more conductive wires;
• in the assembly machine, after advancing the cable under controlled tension by a specific distance, fixably positioning the second strip receiver component of a second connector at a second location on the cable, wherein the through-contact brackets of the second strip receiver provide electric connection towards corresponding ones of the two or more conductive wires, the specific distance defining longitudinal distribution of the LEDs for the display system;
• and
• positioning a first strip holder over the first strip receiver of the first connector and a second strip holder over the second strip receiver of the second connector, wherein the first strip holder and the first strip receiver cooperate for ensuring continued electrical connection of the PCB-compatible electrical contact point of the first strip receiver with a first one of the plurality of strips and the second strip holder and the second strip receiver cooperate for ensuring continued electrical connection of the PCB- compatible electrical contact point of the second strip receiver with a second one of the plurality of strips.
