Modular display system

A variable-buoyancy, modular display system, comprising:

• (i) an inflatable structure defining at least one planar outer surface;
• (ii) one or more flexible displays affixed to the planar outer surface of the inflatable structure, the display having a weight per area under 2 pounds per square foot of display, and comprising:
• a high definition display receiver,
• a controller in communication with the receiver;
• at least one light component on a flexible substrate comprising at least one RGB light element with a pixel pitch of about 4 mm to about 35 mm and a conductor in electrical communication with the RGB light element and the controller;
• and
• (iii) a payload fastener mounted on an outer surface of the inflatable structure at a point other than where the one or more displays are affixed.

A modular display system, comprising:

• a high definition display receiver;
• a controller in communication with the receiver;
• at least one light component on a flexible substrate comprising at least one RGB light element with a pixel pitch of about 4 mm to about 35 mm and a conductor in electrical communication with the RGB light element and the controller;
• a flexible mesh backing having spaced attachment points, and wherein the at least one light component comprises a plurality of light components configured in a plurality of flexible strips depending from a rigid member, and the flexible strips are removably attached to the flexible mesh backing so as to retain relative positioning among the plurality of light components with respect to the flexible backing;
• and
• wherein the display is without a cabinet, such that the display has a weight per area under 2 pounds per square foot of display.
