Abstract
A support substructure for fastening a display tile to a support structure of a tiled display, where the support substructure is linked to the support structure by means of a first mechanism allowing movements of the display tile in a plane parallel to the nominal plane (XY) of the tiled display independently of the presence or absence of adjacent display tiles.

Support substructures each for fastening a display tile to a support structure of a tiled display, adjacent display tiles in the tiled display being separated by a nominal seam, a first support substructure being linked to the support structure by means of a first mechanism allowing movements of each display tile in a plane parallel to the nominal plane (XY) of the tiled display to form a gap between adjacent display tiles obtained by moving one or more display tiles from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and a second mechanism fixing the position of the first support substructure in the second position, wherein the gap is larger than the nominal seam.
A method for manipulating display tiles each display tile being fastened to a support structure of a tiled display using a first substructure, adjacent display tiles in the tiled display being separated by a nominal seam, the first support substructure being mechanically linked to the support structure, the method comprising:
- moving one or more display tiles in a first movement plane parallel to the nominal plane (XY) of the tiled display to form a gap between adjacent display tiles obtained by moving one or more display tiles from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and fixing the position of the first support substructure in the second position, wherein the gap is larger than the nominal seam.
A support substructure for use in fastening a tiled display having an array of display tiles, to a support structure, the first support substructure being for fastening to the support structure by means of an alignment mechanism, the alignment mechanism being for aligning adjacent display tiles, further comprising a first fastening bolt perpendicular to the first support structure, further comprising means for displacement of the alignment mechanism in the direction parallel to the axis of the first fastening bolt.
A method of manipulating a support substructure for use in fastening a tiled display having an array of display tiles, to a first support structure, the method comprising:
- fastening the first support substructure to the support structure by means of an alignment mechanism, and
- aligning adjacent display tiles with the alignment mechanism,
- wherein the alignment mechanism has a first fastening bolt perpendicular to the first support structure, and the method comprising displacing the alignment mechanism in a direction parallel to the axis of the first fastening bolt.
