Abstract
A multiple optical fiber display module may be used in a Large Screen Display system. The multiple optical fiber display module includes at least two modular optical fiber display elements. Each modular display element further includes an optical fiber display tile, an optical fiber array, and an input matrix. The modular display module also includes a mounting frame for demountably attaching the input matrix of each modular optical fiber display tile to a single micro-display.
Claims6
A display tile module for a large screen display, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of optical fiber display tiles;
- (b) a plurality of optical fiber arrays, each array comprising a plurality of optical fibers, the arrays positioned so that each array is physically and optically connected to one of the display tiles;
- (c) a mounting frame having a first end and a second end, the first end and second end positioned substantially parallel to each other;
- (d) an illumination source positioned between the first end and the second end of the mounting frame, the illumination source having a front and a rear, the illumination source being operable to project light from the front;
- (e) a micro-display positioned within the mounting frame to receive the light projected from the illumination source and pass the light away from the illumination source;
- (f) a video signal interconnect that is operative to communicate a video signal to the micro-display;
- (g) a plurality of input matrices positioned within the mounting frame to receive the light passed through the micro-display and transmit the light through the optical fiber arrays to the display tiles.
