Motion Simulator, Display System, and Light-emissive Structures Typically Using Light-Emitting Diodes

A structure comprising a plurality of modules, each comprising:

• a supporting body having a mounting surface and a further surface, referred to as the back surface, generally opposite the mounting surface;
• and
• a light-providing device, mounted on the body's mounting surface, for providing light at an intensity having a maximum that occurs in a maximum light-intensity direction materially non-perpendicular to the body's back surface, the back surfaces of the supporting bodies in the modules extending largely parallel to one another.

A structure comprising a plurality of light-emissive components connected together for generating an image, each light-emissive component having a light-providing surface and a further surface, referred to as the back surface, generally opposite the light-providing surface, light emitted from each light-emissive component emanating from its light-providing surface with an intensity having a maximum that occurs in a maximum light-intensity direction materially non-perpendicular to that component's back surface, the components' back surfaces being materially slanted relative to one another so as to approximate a three-dimensional curved surface whereby the components' maximum light-intensity directions are materially slanted to one another.

A display system comprising:

• an image-generating screen comprising a plurality of light-emissive components connected together for actively generating an image, each light-emissive component having a light-providing surface and a further surface, referred to as the back surface, generally opposite the light-providing surface, light emitted from each light-emissive component emanating from its light-providing surface with an intensity having a maximum that occurs in a maximum light-intensity direction materially non-perpendicular to that component's back surface, the components' back surfaces being materially slanted relative to one another so as to approximate a three-dimensional curved surface whereby the components' maximum light-intensity directions are materially slanted to one another and;
• a collimator for collimating light provided from the image-generating screen in order to substantially replicate the image.

A display system comprising:

• a curved image-generating screen comprising a multiplicity of light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) for generating an image;
• and
• a collimator for collimating light provided from the LEDs in order to substantially replicate the image.

A motion simulator comprising:

• a display system comprising (a) an image-generating screen comprising a plurality of light-emissive components connected together for actively generating an image, each light-emissive component having a light-providing surface and a further surface, referred to as the back surface, generally opposite the light-providing surface, light emitted from each light-emissive component emanating from its light-providing surface with an intensity having a maximum that occurs in a maximum light-intensity direction materially non-perpendicular to that component's back surface, the components' back surfaces being materially slanted relative to one another so as to approximate a three-dimensional curved surface whereby the components' maximum light-intensity directions are materially slanted to one another and (b) a collimator for collimating light provided from the image-generating screen in order to substantially replicate the image;
• and
• a station for receiving a person such that the person can see the replicated image by receiving light collimated by the collimator after being emitted from the light-emissive components.
