Abstract: The present invention relates to a support substructure for fastening a display tile to a support structure of a tiled display, the support substructure being characterized in that it is linked to the support structure by means of a first mechanism allowing movements of the display tile in a plane parallel to the nominal plane (XY) of the tiled display independently of the presence or absence of adjacent display tiles.

Abstract: An intermediary support structure that includes a linear or rotational actuator to move the single display tile from a first position in a first plane along a predetermined path to a second position in the first plane. The first position is a loading position of the single display tile in the tiled display and the second position is a position in which the single display tile lies when installed in its operative position in the tiled display. When the single display tile is located in the first position, there is a distance between the loading position and the operative position, the linear or rotational actuator is configured so that the distance becomes smaller as the single display tile is moved along the predetermined path towards the second position. The linear or rotational actuator is accessible and remains accessible until an adjacent display tile is covering an access to the actuator.
