Description
- This invention relates to a display module for configurable large-scale see-through display. Particularly, such display modules are applicable in multiple-assembly stage decoration or fixed architectural installation. The module may be also used as a comparatively small separate display.
- Large-scale image display systems have been widely used for displaying pictures and information in sports fields, recreation grounds, outdoor and indoor advertisements, and in the decoration of events and shows. These large-scale image display systems are used to communicate animations, texts, and video to large audiences to enhance the entertainment or marketing activities.
- An example of a large-scale image video display system is described in
US patent 6,690,341 , entitled "Method of displaying high-density dot-matrix bit-mapped image on low-density dot-matrix display and system therefore". This patent details a dot-matrix display device comprising a plurality of cross members intersecting with each other at such intervals as substantially larger than a width of each of the cross members, a plurality of light emitting elements disposed at the intersecting points of the cross members respectively, each of the light emitting elements being shaped so as not to deteriorate transparency of a structure configured by the intersecting members, each of the light emitting element being so disposed that an optical axis thereof is oriented substantially perpendicular to a surface of the structure formed by the intersecting cross members, and means for controlling drive of the light emitting elements respectively, the controlling means being distributed in the cross members. - The module of the aforesaid large-scale display system comprises a panel with eight cross members forming a lattice structure. Each panel has 16 electrical and mechanical connections, and thus the proposed display system requires a large number of electrical and mechanical connections. Therefore it is difficult to suitably change the conditions of setting in accordance with the on-site situation. Great number of electrical and mechanical connections in each assembly-dismantling cycle decreases general reliability of the system. Te apparatus is difficult to be used as, for example, for a stage decoration, in which various setting conditions are required. The time needed for construction of such a display system is great, which make this display system unsuitable for use at temporary events.
- Another disadvantage of the prior art display panel is limited wind and light transmission. The crosspieces combined with each other lengthwise and widthwise increase their visibility and wind load.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a display module of increased see-through visibility and wind and sound transmission.
- The display module according to the invention is made of several elementary panels, in the preferred embodiment it is four panels. Each elementary panel is made on the basis of a monolithic printed circuit board.
- A one-piece sheet for the monolithic printed circuit board is made of fibreglass or other suitable material. See-through windows are made in the sheet by milling or other known technique.
- The printed circuit board is provided with a protective cover, attached to the side of the printed circuit board, where the light emitting elements are located.
- The light emitting elements are disposed at one side of the printed circuit board and controlling drivers of the said light emitting elements are disposed at the opposite side of the printed circuit board. Each elementary panel is mounted on a support frame whose ribs are sufficiently narrow so as not to deteriorate the panel see-through visibility.
- Mechanical strength of such structure allows making the windows as extended rectangles (vertical or horizontal). In comparison with the prior art technique it increases visibility of the system and wind and sound transmission of the structure, thus eliminating the prior art disadvantage. In the preferred embodiment of the offered invention the transmission is increased by 25-30%.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide the display modules of increased reliability in configuring a large-scale see-through display.
- Each display module is equipped with a local control unit, including a data distribution circuit. In contrast to the prior art, the control unit with the data distribution circuit inside is installed directly in the display module so as not to deteriorate the system see-through visibility. For that purpose the control unit is made not wider than the support frame rib. During the large-scale system assembly/dismantling processes there is no need to connect/disconnect a lot of electrical contacts, as in the prior art. It improves the system reliability.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide the display modules for easy multiple assembly and dismantling in configuring a large-scale see-through display and to improve their changeability.
- The local control unit is connected to each elementary panel with a cable, which is soldered directly to the printed circuit board, preferably in the panel central zone, so as to provide full changeability of all elementary panels within the whole large-scale display. The structure of the display modules with the support frames, soldered cables and no electrical pin contacts facilitates easy assembly of a large-scale display and its high maintainability: in case of any problems with an elementary panel in the whole large-scale display it may be quickly changed for a spare one without the need of dismantling the whole display system.
- Thus, the offered display module may be easy installed in configuring large-scale see-through displays, conveniently maintained within the whole structure and easy dismantled, while these processes may be multiply repeated, which is especially convenient for use in temporary events.
- Novel features and advantages of the present invention in addition to those noted above will become apparent to those of ordinary skills in the art from a reading of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- In order to better explain the characteristics of the invention, a following preferred embodiment of a display module according to the invention is described as an example only without being limitative in any way, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

circuit board 21, controllingdrivers 23,light emitting diodes 22,protective cover 25,bolts 26,nuts 27 and holes 28 can be seen in these drawings more in detail. -
Fig. 9 illustrates the network of the controllingdrivers 23. The network is arranged as a zigzag-connected circuit. Thecable 5 may be directly soldered or connected with quick-disconnect connector in the centre of printedcircuit board 21. The printed circuit board hascopper path 5a, which transfers modulated data signals from the centre of the printedcircuit board 21 to the right upper corner of the board, to the first controllingdriver 23 in the network of the controlling drivers. The said arrangement of the controlling drivers network allows full interchangeability of allelementary panels 4 within the whole large-scale display. The controllingdriver 23 is a standard DC driver integrated circuit for light emitting diodes, for example DM412 of Silicon Touch Technology, Taiwan. - The
light emitting diodes 22 are preferably RGB LEDs in a single surface mount ceramic package, for example, NSSM016A manufactured by Nichia, Japan. As an alternative, thelight emitting diodes 22 may be single-colour LEDs of red, green, blue, yellow, amber or white colour. -
Fig. 10a and10b illustrate thesupport frame 2. Thesupport frame 2 consists of the number of metal tubes, mechanically joined together to form a strong and stable construction.Vertical tubes 29hold lock devices 30 at the their bottom, lock pins 31 andsafety wire 36 at their top. Thevertical tubes 32 are used to increase mechanical stability of the overall structure of thesupport frame 2, used to hold the elementary panels 4 (Fig.10a ) and the cables 5 (Fig.10b ).Horizontal tubes 33 are mechanically connected with thetubes 29 andtubes 32 inpoints 34. Thetube 33, located at the top of thesupport frame 2, has twocable holders 35. - The
support frame 2 may be made of thin, rigid, lightweight material, such as metal, to make the entire frame lightweight. Such metals can include aluminium or other lightweight metals. In addition, plastic, fibreglass, carbonaceous materials and other lightweight materials and combination of thereof can be used. -
Fig. 11 illustrates the front view of thedisplay module 1. Thecontrol unit 3 is located in horizontal plane behind the tophorizontal tube 33 of the support frame. The control unit mechanical structure is sufficiently thin to not reduce transparency of the display module when located in the described way. -
Fig. 12 illustrates thecable holders 35. Thecable holder 35 holds power, lighting and data cables in horizontal plane behind the tophorizontal tube 33 of the support frame. As a result, the power, data and lighting cables are invisible for observers looking from the front of thedisplay module 1. Thus, the power, data and lighting cables do not deteriorate transparency of thedisplay module 1. -
Fig. 13 illustrates the magnified left side back view of thedisplay module 1 mechanical connection. Thelock devices 30 and lock pins 31 connect mechanically thedisplay modules 1 together in vertical direction. Thesafety wires 36 are securing connection of thedisplay module 1 according to the requirements of the stage equipment safety standard. The enlargedvertical tube 29 andcable holder 35 are also shown here. -
Fig. 14 illustrates the large-scale see-throughdisplay system 37. Thedisplay system 37 is shown erected at the conventionaltruss type construction 38. Thedisplay system 37 comprises a plurality of thedisplay modules 1. - In the preferred embodiment the plurality of the
display modules 1 are arranged in two columns and two rows per column. - However, those skilled in the art will recognize that various other combinations of the
display modules 1 may be connected to each other to provide other configurations of the overall display. In certain applications, the display system may be made up of just onedisplay module 1. - During assembly of the large-scale display system the first row of the modules is hanged up to a top support of some known type, e.g. a truss. The control units are connected between each other and to the
power supply unit 18,lighting controller 19 anddisplay controller 20 and the daisy chain of the display modules is created. - Then the truss is elevated to the height sufficient enough to hang up the second row of the display modules. The second row of the modules is hanged up to the first row. The connection process is made by usual cable connections and does not require multiple pin connections as in the prior art. It also facilitates the system dismantling. So, the offered invention provides easy and simple multiple cycles of assembly/dismantling.
- In accordance with the present invention, the size of the
display module 1 can vary in accordance with weight and easy of handling, lifting, assembling, disassembling and transporting. Thedisplay module 1 of the preferred embodiment has the following metric dimensions and weight: width 940 mm, height 960 mm,weight 10 kg. The distance between centres oflight emitting diodes 22 is 40 mm. These dimensions and weight can vary within the scope of the invention. - The background behind the display system is visible to an audience and the display system can be illuminated from behind, so that more extraordinary stage effects can be created in addition to the video displayed on the display system. For example, stage lasers or moving headlights can be placed behind the display system to light through the system.
- In operation, the
display module 1 receives pixel image data onserial data input 8, lighting data onlighting input 10, and power onpower input 6. The pixel image data are then processed by the data distribution circuit. Thedata distribution circuit 12 takes all necessary image data from the pixel image data flow according to cropping area coordinates, process image data and output serial modulated data signals, which are then sent to eachelementary panels 4 through thecables 5. The modulated data signals are delivered to the network of the controllingdrivers 23. Each of the controllingdrivers 23 makes thelight emitting diode 22 to turn on or off according to pulse width modulation, thus makes possible static and dynamic image in various of colours to be displayed. - In accordance with the present invention, the size of the
display module 1 can vary in accordance with weight and easy handling, lifting, assembling, disassembling and transporting.
