US 12,207,426 B2 · Exterior display system for presenting visual media

Abstract

An exterior display system can be configured and arranged around a structure. The exterior display system includes a mechanical supporting structure configured and arranged about the exterior surface of the structure. This mechanical supporting structure can include various supporting structures and/or mounting structures which are configured and arranged to form a mechanical lattice framework. An electronic visual display device can be connected to the mechanical lattice framework to form the exterior display system. The electronic visual display device can include multiple electronic visual display panels which are connected to the mechanical lattice framework. Each of these multiple electronic visual display panels can include multiple groups of multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs), also referred to electronic LED disc assemblies, that are configured and arranged in a series of one or more rows and/or a series of one or more columns.
