Configurable Display Apparatus and Methods

A configurable display apparatus comprising:

• a) a plurality of light emitting display modules collectively defining a viewing plane, at least a portion of said viewing plane having a curvature;
• b) said plurality of light emitting display modules coupled to a support frame, said support frame supporting the weight of said plurality of light emitting display modules along a support direction;
• at least a portion of said curvature being in a direction orthogonal to said support direction;
• c) each of said plurality of light emitting display modules comprising:
• i) a plurality of light emitting elements coupled to a flexible substrate, said plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern collectively forming a display plane;
• ii) a plurality of frame couplers coupled to said flexible substrate, each frame coupler providing an installed position defined when said frame coupler is coupled to said support frame;
• each frame coupler providing a standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame when in said installed position;
• iii) at least one of said plurality of frame couplers being an adjustable frame coupler operative to provide a continuously adjustable standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame,
• iv) an adjustable linkage coupled to said flexible substrate on the side of said flexible substrate that is opposed to said plurality of light emitting elements, the adjustable linkage operative to provide an adjustable deflection of at least a portion of said display plane;
• d) said plurality of light emitting display modules further characterized in that the display planes of at least two adjacent display modules are disposed by the operation of their respective adjustable linkages and by the operation of their respective adjustable frame couplers such that no gaps or overlaps between their respective adjacent display planes are visible.
