Patent number: 10145542Abstract: A display system, a method of constructing a display system, and a method of displaying an image are described. In one embodiment, a display system includes a support structure having a plurality of attachment members and a plurality of tiles. Each of the plurality of tiles is attached to a corresponding attachment member of the plurality of attachment members. The support structure is configured to structurally support each of the plurality of tiles, and at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to removably connect and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles with another one of the plurality of tiles.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Barco, Inc.Inventors: Grant Arthur John Elliott, Marcus Robert Patterson

Patent number: 10012368Abstract: A light-emitting display system has an alignment mechanism to align or angle light-emitting tiles of the display. A first tile connects to a second tile by joining a first clamp portion on the first tile with a second clamp portion on the second tile. In an implementation, the alignment mechanism includes a replaceable angle adjustment insert that is inserted into at least one of the clamp portions, such as the first clamp portion. When the first and second clamp portions are joined, a surface of the second clamp portion presses against the insert and a desired angle between the first and second tile is formed. The insert can have any angle so that any desired angle can be formed between the first and second tiles.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignee: Barco, Inc.Inventors: Marcus Robert Patterson, Grant Arthur John Elliott
