Abstract
A support system for an electronic display comprises one or more support frames configured to be mounted to a planar or substantially planar building structure, wherein each support frame comprises a mounting face configured for mounting one or more display modules to the one or more support frames to form a display surface, and at least one adjustment mechanism corresponding to each of the one or more support frames for adjusting a position or an alignment, or both, of the support frame relative to the planar or substantially planar building structure.
Claims21
A support system for an electronic display, the support system comprising:
- a plurality of support frames configured to be adjustably mounted directly to a planar or substantially planar building structure, wherein each support frame comprises a frame mounting face configured to be mounted directly to the planar or substantially planer building structure and a module mounting face configured for mounting one or more display modules directly thereto;
- and
- at least one adjustment mechanism corresponding to each of the one or more support frames, wherein each adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust positioning or alignment, or both positioning and alignment, of the corresponding support frame relative to the planar or substantially planar building structure, thereby providing a substantially planar display mounting face comprising the module mounting faces of the plurality of support frames, wherein the substantially planar display mounting face is configured for attaching a plurality of the display modules directly to the plurality of support frames and form an overall electronic display face formed from the display modules mounted directly to the display mounting face.
An electronic display comprising:
- a support system comprising:
- a plurality of support frames configured to be adjustably mounted directly to a planar or substantially planar building structure, wherein each support frame comprises a frame mounting face configured to be mounted to the planar or substantially planar building structure and a module mounting face configured for mounting one or more display modules directly thereto;
- and
- at least one adjustment mechanism corresponding to each of the one or more support frames, wherein each adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust positioning or alignment, or both positioning and alignment, of the corresponding support frame relative to the planar or substantially planar building structure;
- wherein the adjustment mechanisms of the plurality of support frames are configured to adjust one or both of positioning and alignment of the plurality of support frames so that the frame mounting faces of the plurality of support frames are aligned to collectively form a display mounting face comprising the module mounting faces of the plurality of support frames;
- and
- a plurality of display modules directly mounted to the display mounting face, wherein each module comprises a module display face comprising an array of light-emitting element pixels, wherein the plurality of display modules mounted directly to the display mounting face form an overall display surface comprising the module display faces of the plurality of display modules.
