Abstract: A large scale, portable light emitting diode image display system including one or more display panels comprising a web or netlike structure, preferably formed of interconnected flexible foldable strap members arranged in plural vertical columns and horizontal rows. Light emitting diode light sources are mounted on the column straps at predetermined spaced apart points to form a matrix for projecting multi-color images. Each panel includes fasteners at opposite ends of horizontal straps for connecting the panels to each other and each panel includes connectors at opposite ends of the vertical straps for connecting the panels to each other and to a support structure for erecting the display system as a stage backdrop, billboard or other image display arrangement.

Abstract: A multi-color, focusable, lighting apparatus particularly adapted for illuminating performance stages and other visual displays comprises an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) supported on a flexible base member which in turn is supported by a housing of the apparatus. A linear actuator is operable to move the base member between a generally planar position and a deflected position to cause the LED array to change the direction of the optical axes of a substantial number of LEDs in the array to focus light emitted from the LEDs, respectively. The LEDs are preferably provided in clusters of three LEDs, each cluster including a red, blue and green LED. A generally cylindrical shield may be connected to the housing to project light from the apparatus. The base member may comprise a moldable polymer material wherein the LED array and electrical conductors are encapsulated in the base member itself.
