Abstract
Display modules have a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern and providing a highly uniform visual effect. Methods are provided to support a plurality of flexible display modules in an adjustable curved arrangement. Alignment and complementary alignment features enable the alignment of adjacent display modules and the creation of large displays from a plurality of aligned display modules. Features to couple to and retain a support frame are provided. Flexible and durable weather resistance features are provided. A system of modular support frames works cooperatively with the display modules, adapting to different mounting environments, and thereby providing large modular displays with desirable properties.
Claims20
A modular display system comprising:
- a plurality of support modules forming a support structure;
- a first display module, connected to the support structure, configured to adjust to a plurality of different curvatures between a first end and a second end, the first display module comprising a first plurality of light emitting elements collectively forming a first display, the first display comprises at least a portion having a first curvature between the first end and the second end;
- and
- a second display module, connected to the support structure adjacent to the first display module, configured to adjust to a plurality of different curvatures between a third end and a fourth end, the second display module comprising a second plurality of light emitting elements collectively forming a second display, the second display comprises at least a portion having a second curvature between the third end and the fourth end;
- wherein the first display and second display form a continuous display.
A modular display system comprising:
- a support structure comprising a plurality of support modules, the support structure defining a perimeter, wherein the perimeter comprises at least a portion having a curvature;
- and
- a plurality of display modules each of the plurality of display modules comprising a plurality of light emitting elements;
- a plurality of adjustable couplers releasably coupling each display module of the plurality of display modules to a support module of the plurality of support modules at a predetermined distance between the display module and the support module to define the perimeter, each of the plurality of adjustable couplers configured to adjust a spacing between the display module and the support module;
- wherein when the plurality of display modules is coupled to the plurality of support modules, each display module abuts an adjacent display module to form a continuous display.
A modular display system comprising:
- a support structure defining a perimeter, wherein the perimeter comprises at least a portion having a curvature, the support structure comprising a plurality of support modules, each of the plurality of support modules being coupled to at least one adjacent support module;
- a plurality of display modules, each of the plurality of display modules comprising a plurality of light emitting elements, each of the plurality of display modules configured to releasably attach to the support structure;
- and
- a plurality of adjustable couplers releasably coupling each display module of the plurality of display modules to the support structure at a predetermined distance between the display module and the support structure to define the perimeter, each of the plurality of adjustable couplers configured to adjust a spacing between the display module and the support structure, the spacing defining the perimeter.
