  • Patent number: 9703519
    Abstract: LED display modules for large-format displays are disclosed. The LED display module includes a matrix of LEDs, with each LED having an anode and a cathode, and an LED drive circuit having electrical connections defined by rows and columns that electrically connect to the LEDs in the LED matrix. Groups of adjacent rows are arranged in parallel and groups of adjacent columns are arranged in parallel, thereby defining super pixels each having an array of four or more LEDs, wherein the LEDs in a given super pixel cannot be individually activated. The modules can be combined to form the large-format display.

  • Patent number: 9660403
    Abstract: Discrete electronic modules, such as display tiles, designed and configured to be mosaicked and operatively connected with one another and/or to one or more differing types of discrete electronic modules. In some embodiments, the electronic modules include one or more recessed receptacles along their edges that receive corresponding connector biscuits that operatively connect abutting or confronting electronic modules with one another and/or to a controller. In some embodiments, the sizes of the recessed receptacles and connector biscuits are precisely matched so that the biscuits participate in aligning the abutting or confronting display tiles with one another. In some embodiments, the recessed receptacles are provided in recesses in the backsides of the display tiles, which allows each tile to be easily installed and removed from a display mosaic of which the tile is part.

  • Publication number: 20160180760
    Abstract: Large-format display systems having color pixels and white pixels are disclosed. In an embodiment, the system includes a video camera, a video processor, and a large-format display that includes the color pixels and the white pixels. The video processor processes the video signal from the video camera, but the video processor does not perform a white-to-RGB conversion. Instead, the information for the white pixels is sent directly to the large-format display to form the color display image. A viewer's visual system performs the white-to-RGB conversion when viewing the color display image. A method of forming the color display image using color pixels and white pixels is also disclosed. Methods of performing color matching using the color pixels and white pixels are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7365720
    Abstract: A calibration method for calibrating a fixed format emissive display device having a plurality of pixels is described In the display each pixel comprises at least three sub-pixels for emitting light of different real primary colours. The method comprises determining, for each real primary colour separately, a virtual target primary colour which can be reached by at least 80% of the pixels of the display, determining a colour gamut defined by the determined virtual target primary colours, and adjusting the drive currents to the sub-pixels to achieve a colour inside the determined colour gamut. A display having an extended range of colours is described, i.e. a gamut of colours that is more than the gamut provided by an n virtual primary colour based electronic multicolour display, as measured on a chromaticity diagram, for example. A color and/or brightness uniform image can be produced with this fixed format emissive display device.
