  • Patent number: 8911122
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7157838
    Abstract: The present invention provides arrangements for electroluminescent displays 10 comprising a packaged semiconductor light emitting element 12 that has a light emitting display side 16. A heat sink 22 is disposed in the region of a rear side of the light-emitting element 12 opposite to the display side. Electrical connections 28 from the light emitting element 12 pass through said heat sink 22. Drive circuitry 30 for the light emitting element 12 is connected thereto by the electrical connections 28 and spaced apart from the heat sink 22 in such a manner that at least one cooling channel 34 is defined between the heat sink 22 and the drive circuitry 30 for the passage in use of a cooling fluid.
