Abstract: A tile and a tiled display system having at least two adjacent tiles each having a display screen with display pixels which are picture elements, where for coloured displays each pixel includes a plurality light emitting or light modulating elements. Each of the tiles has at least one first substrate of a first material and at least one first layer of a second material fixed to the first substrate where the thickness of the at least one first layer is less than the thickness of the first substrate; the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first substrate is less than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the at least one first layer and the distance between the at least two tiles is less than the size of a pixel on the display screen. The first substrates of adjacent tiles can be brought in mechanical contact.
