Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily carry out work to adjust mounting without impairing the outward appearance of a display screen by densely arranging plural pixels in a hexagonal shape onto a printed circuit board formed to a hexagonal shape. SOLUTION: The display module 1 is formed by densely arranging the plural pixels 2 to the hexagonal shape; for example, 61 pieces of the pixels 2 are lined up to the hexagonal shape. The printed circuit board is formed to the hexagonal shape in its external shape in order to form the external shape of the module 1 to the hexagonal shape. The printed circuit boards are arranged in a matrix form by matching the one side of the hexagonal shape with the one side of the hexagonal shape of the adjacent printed circuit boards. Further, supports for mounting the modules 1 on a display board are mounted at the circuit boards. The plural pixels 2 are tightly arranged to the hexagonal shape in such a manner, by which the need for mounting the joints of the respective modules 1 to a straight line is eliminated and therefore, the work to adjust the mounting is made easy. Even if the spacings between the respective modules 1 are slightly unequal, the joints of the respective modules 1 are visible undulated from the beginning and therefore, the outward appearance is not impaired.
