Abstract
A tiled display (100) for lighting or imaging includes a plurality of display tiles (110) arranged side by side. The tiled display (100) furthermore includes a seam hiding arrangement (114) formed of at least one light absorbing cloth or textile (114) in a seam (112) between two neighboring display tiles (110). A corresponding method for assembling or adjusting a tiled display is described. The seam hiding arrangement may be used for blocking environmental light or stray light in the seams and optionally also for aligning or controlling the position of the display tiles.
Claims14
A tiled display for lighting or imaging, the tiled display comprising:
- a plurality of display tiles arranged side by side, each of said plurality of display tiles having a front surface, back surface, and side surfaces, and
- at least one seam hiding arrangement comprising at least one light absorbing textile or cloth located in a seam between two neighbouring display tiles to prevent unwanted light from being visible,
- wherein the at least one light absorbing textile or cloth is arranged on a side surface of at least one display tile in a way such that, when at least two neighbouring display tiles are connected, the at least one light absorbing textile or cloth is configured to align the at least two neighbouring display tiles to an appropriate pixel pitch by having an average compressive strength for providing a counter pressure to a shifting display tile.
A display tile for use in a tiled display, the display tile comprising a light absorbing textile or cloth connected to the display tile and arranged to assist in hiding of a seam between the display tile and neighbouring display tiles when the display tile is assembled in a tiled display,
- wherein the display tile has a front surface, back surface, and side surfaces, and
- wherein the light absorbing textile or cloth is arranged on a side surface of the display tile in a way such that when the display tile is used in a tiled display where at least two neighboring display tiles are connected, the light absorbing textile or cloth is configured to align the at least two neighboring display tiles to an appropriate pixel pitch by having an average compressive strength for providing a counter pressure to a shifting display tile.
