A display system, comprising:
- a support structure having a plurality of attachment members;
- and
- a plurality of tiles, each of the plurality of tiles having an attachment point configured to couple to one of the plurality of attachment members,
- wherein at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to couple and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles to another one of the plurality of tiles,
- the attachment point comprises two plates, each plate having an aperture configured to receive at least one attachment member of the support structure, and
- at least one of the two plates is configured to rotate to an unlocked position and a locked position.
A light emitting tile, comprising:
- at least one attachment point configured to couple the light emitting tile to an attachment member of a support structure,.
- wherein the at least one attachment point includes at least two plates, each plate having an aperture configured to receive the attachment member, and at least one of the two plates is configured to be moved to an unlocked position;
- and
- a plurality of connections configured to removably attach and align the light emitting tile with at least one adjacent light emitting tile.
A method of constructing a display system, the method comprising:
- providing a support structure having a plurality of attachment members;
- providing a plurality of tiles, each of the plurality of tiles having an attachment point, wherein the attachment point includes two plates, each plate having an aperture configured to receive an attachment member;
- removably attaching one of the plurality of tiles to one of the plurality of attachment members;
- rotating at least one of the two plates to a locked position;
