Abstract
A flexible three dimensional display assembly is provided. The flexible display assembly includes electrically interconnected light emitting elements, a flexible lattice fixture and a display bezel. The light emitting elements are electrically interconnected by a system of conductors. The light emitting elements are coupled to the flexible lattice fixture by an arrangement of structurally interconnected framing cells that receive pairs of the light emitting elements. The flexible lattice fixture is secured to the substrate of the display bezel such that the pairs of light emitting elements are maintained in optical alignment with corresponding pairs of apertures of the display bezel.
Claims14
A display assembly comprising:
- a plurality of light emitting elements;
- a flexible lattice defined by a plurality of structurally interconnected framing cells, each framing cell configured to receive at least one light emitting element, of the plurality of light emitting elements, such that the plurality of structurally interconnected framing cells distribute the plurality of light emitting elements over the flexible lattice in a first arrangement of light emitting elements;
- a display bezel providing an arrangement of apertures corresponding to the first arrangement of light emitting elements;
- a plurality of conductors electrically coupling respective subsets of the plurality of light emitting elements together in strings, wherein groups of the strings are arranged in clusters;
- and
- a common bus, extending between adjacent clusters in a direction perpendicular to the strings, to provide power and control signals to each of the adjacent clusters,
- the flexible lattice and the display bezel configured to be interconnected so as to maintain the plurality of light emitting elements in optical alignment with the apertures when the display assembly is disposed on a curved surface of a vehicle.
