Abstract
An LED display includes an LED chip configured to emit light about a focal axis. A circuit board is configured to selectively electrify the LED chip. The circuit board is elastically deformable. An optic is optically coupled with the LED chip and defines an optical axis. The optic is elastically deformable. The optical axis and the focal axis maintain a generally aligned position when the circuit board is positioned in a non-planar orientation.
