Abstract: A light emitting assembly, a light emitting system, and a method of securing a light emitting assembly to a substrate are disclosed. The light emitting assembly includes a male member with a pixel coupled thereto engaging a female member, in which the pixel is viewable through the female member. The assembly secures to a substrate and the pixel is configured to receive an electrical signal and power. The display system includes a plurality of the light emitting assemblies secured to a substrate and configured to receive electrical signals and power. The method includes providing a male member with a pixel coupled thereto and a female member. A substrate is disposed between the members, and the members are then engaged with one another to secure the substrate therebetween.
Abstract: A display unit, a display system, and a method of manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The display unit includes a first substrate and a second substrate attached to the first substrate to form a cavity between the substrates. A pixel is then disposed within the cavity and is configured to receive an electrical signal and power. The display system includes a plurality of display units having a first substrate with edges and a plurality of pixels disposed upon the first substrate. At least one edge of at least one of the display units is configured to removably attach to another edge of an adjacent display unit. The method includes providing a first and second substrate, and a pixel, attaching the first and second substrates together to form a cavity therebetween, and disposing a pixel within the cavity. The pixel is configured to receive an electrical signal and power.
