Abstract: A low-power and lightweight display mountable on a support structure, such as an airship, includes a plurality of display modules configured in a M-row×N-column array. Each display module includes a control panel and a pair of associated display panels that are flexibly interconnected. Each of the control and display panels carries a plurality of LED pixels, which are configured to communicate with a video processing system. The processing system captures an image from an input source and processes it to form a scrambled bit stream that matches the configuration of the pixels carried by the display modules to render a complete video image.

Abstract: A large visual display mountable on a support structure includes a plurality of pixel array panels configured in a M-row×N-column display. Each pixel array panel has a plurality of pixel boards configured in a R-row×S-column matrix carried by the support structure. A plurality of lighting elements are disposed on each pixel board. A control circuit is carried on at least one of the pixel boards in each plurality of pixel array panels. An interface system sends a data signal to each control circuit for illumination of the lighting elements. The interface system grabs an image made up of a plurality of pixels from a source and then loads the image into a buffer. The system then accesses the buffer line-by-line, and segments portions of each line for re-arrangement with other portions of lines into an order usable by the light emitting diode display.
