  • Patent number: 9626145
    Abstract: A display tile for arranging with other display tiles to form a multi-tile display includes display pixels in an active display area, pixel tape sections, and a transparent layer. The pixel tape sections surround the display pixels. Each pixel tape section overlaps an adjacent pixel tape section and is overlapped by another adjacent pixel tape section disposed opposite the adjacent pixel tape section. Each pixel tape section includes a pixel array. The transparent layer is disposed over the display pixels and the pixel arrays of the pixel tape sections. The display pixels and the pixel arrays are arranged to display an overall image of the display tile.

  • Publication number: 20170082267
    Abstract: A display panel comprises a display layer including a plurality of pixel arrays offset from each other by spacing regions and a screen layer disposed over the display layer with each of the pixel arrays aligned to project an image portion onto a corresponding portion of the screen layer. The screen layer includes a transparent substrate and an array of upper spacer supports to support the transparent substrate a first fixed distance from the display layer. Each of the upper spacer supports is positioned on one of the spacing regions.

  • Patent number: 9529563
    Abstract: A tileable display panel includes an array of display pixels including central display pixels near a center of the array having a center pixel pitch and perimeter display pixels along a perimeter of the array. A perimeter region surrounds the array. The perimeter region includes a first side that is joinable to a second side of another instance of the tileable display panel to form a multi-panel display. The perimeter region has a width that is greater than at least half the center pixel pitch such that a gap between adjacent perimeter display pixels of the tileable display panel and the other instance of the tileable display panel when forming the multi-panel display is greater than the center pixel pitch. The gap is visually masked by increasing a characteristic of the perimeter display pixels adjacent to the gap relative to the same characteristic of the central display pixels.
