Abstract
Tiled displays having display tiles, are described as well as methods of making and/or operating tiled displays and tiles. Methods and devices are described for a tiled display having tiles lying in an X-Y plane, the methods and devices being for setting or adjusting the position of neighbouring tiles in a tiled display to reduce differences in the Z direction between tiles of a tiled display, whereby the tiles lie in the X-Y plane.

A tiled display comprising:
- a first and a second display tile,
- the first and second display tiles lying in a display plane and each having a first and second side respectively,
- wherein the first side of the first display tile comprises a first body of a first kinematic pair and a second body of a second kinematic pair wherein the second side of the second display tile has a second body of the first kinematic pair and a first body of the second kinematic pair,
- wherein the first and second kinematic pairs is able to impose a constraint on the relative movement of the first body and the second body in a direction perpendicular to the display plane.
A method of constructing a tiled display having an alignment mechanism, the tiled display having a first and a second display tile, the first and second display tiles lying in a display plane and each having a first and second side respectively, wherein a first body of a first kinematic pair and a second body of a second kinematic pair are formed in the first side of the first display tile and a second body of the first kinematic pair and a first body of the second kinematic pair are formed in the second side of the second display tile, the tiled display is characterized in that the first and second kinematic pairs can impose a constraint on the relative movement of the first body and the second body in a direction perpendicular to the display plane.
