Definitions
- This disclosure relates generally to optics, and in particular but not exclusively, relates to displays.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate how tiling multiple smaller, less expensive display panels 100 together can achieve a large multi-panel display 105 , which may be used as a large wall display.
- the individual images displayed by each display panel 100 may constitute a sub-portion of the larger overall-image collectively displayed by multi-panel display 105 .
- multi-panel display 105 can reduce costs, visually it has a major drawback.
- Each display panel 100 includes a bezel 110 around its periphery.
- Bezel 110 is a mechanical structure that houses pixel region 115 in which the display pixels are disposed. In recent years, manufactures have reduced the thickness of bezel 110 considerably to less than 2 mm. However, even these thin bezel trims are still very noticeable to the naked eye, distract the viewer, and otherwise detract from the overall visual experience.
- Various other approaches for obtaining seamless displays include display lensing, blended projection, stackable display cubes, and LED tiles.
- Display lensing places a single contiguous lens in front of each display panel 100 to present a fused borderless image in a particular “sweet spot.”
- the viewing angle is relative narrow and image distortion along continuous lines still occurs.
- Blended projection uses software stitching and mechanical mounting of traditional projection screens.
- blended projection uses relatively low cost hardware and is a good option for non-planar surfaces.
- there are significant physical constraints on usage and installation and blended projection requires regular maintenance and sophisticated calibration.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate conventional display panel tiling.
- FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate an example display panel for tiling an example multi-panel display formed by a plurality of the display panels, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.

- Display panel 200 includes pixel region 205 mechanically coupled to electronic housing 203 .
- Pixel region 205 includes pixels and pixel circuitry. Pixel region 205 may be rectangular and the pixels may be arranged in rows and columns.

- the cross sectional views (combined with the top and bottom view) show that two edges of pixel region 205 overhang electronic housing 203 .

- the pixel region 205 of the display panels can partially overlap the electronic housing 203 of adjacent display panels 200 , when interconnected to do so. Because of the overlap, pixel region 205 of display panel 200 B is disposed a first distance (in z-dimension 253 ) below pixel region 205 of display panel 200 A. Similarly, pixel region 205 of display panel 200 C is disposed a second distance (in z-dimension 253 ) below pixel region 205 of display panel 200 B.
- display panels 200 A, 200 B, and 200 C may all be substantially the same, the second distance would essentially be the same as the first distance.

- FIG. 3A it can be seen that electronic housing 2303 does not have abutting section 227 that extends up to abut the pixel region. Instead, that space is reserved for pixel regions 305 of other display panels 300 to occupy, when interconnected.
- FIG. 3B two display panels 300 are shown before they are interconnected. In the illustrated embodiment, the fourth interconnect 324 of one display panel 300 will be connected to the second interconnect 322 of the other display panel 300 .

- FIG. 4 illustrates a front view of three interconnected display panels ( 400 A. 400 B, 400 C) and a disconnected display panel ( 400 A) before being connected to the three interconnected display panels, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.

- Display panels 600 could include display panel features shown in connection with the discussions of FIGS. 2 , 3 , 4 , and 5 . Given the close proximity that the pixel regions 605 are able to achieve because of the mechanical configurations of display panels 600 , the seams between display panels 600 may be unperceivable by a viewer of multi-panel 650 . If display panels 600 include the features of display panel 300 , pixel regions 605 will be substantially flush.
- multi-panel display 650 could be configured in fish-scale configuration.

- multi-panel display 650 can be easily expanded or contracted. If a smaller multi-panel display 650 is desired, a user can simply disconnect display panels 600 D, 600 H, and 600 L (as an example) to form a 3 ⁇ 3 multi-panel display. If a larger multi-panel display 650 is desired, a user can easily connect additional display panels 600 . For example, to expand multi-panel display 650 , a user could interconnect eight more display panels 600 to form a 4 ⁇ 5 multi-panel display. As discussed earlier, device position circuitry may do device discovery and adjust the images for the rest of the display panels 600 , based on a subtraction or addition of display panels 600 .
Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/636,458 filed on Apr. 20, 2012.
- This disclosure relates generally to optics, and in particular but not exclusively, relates to displays.
- Large displays can be prohibitively expensive as the cost to manufacture display panels rises exponentially with display area. This exponential rise in cost arises from the increased complexity of large monolithic displays, the decrease in yields associated with large displays (a greater number of components must be defect free for large displays), and increased shipping, delivery, and setup costs. Tiling smaller display panels to form larger multi-panel displays can help reduce many of the costs associated with large monolithic displays.
-
FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate how tiling multiple smaller, lessexpensive display panels 100 together can achieve a largemulti-panel display 105, which may be used as a large wall display. The individual images displayed by eachdisplay panel 100 may constitute a sub-portion of the larger overall-image collectively displayed bymulti-panel display 105. Whilemulti-panel display 105 can reduce costs, visually it has a major drawback. Eachdisplay panel 100 includes abezel 110 around its periphery.Bezel 110 is a mechanical structure that housespixel region 115 in which the display pixels are disposed. In recent years, manufactures have reduced the thickness ofbezel 110 considerably to less than 2 mm. However, even these thin bezel trims are still very noticeable to the naked eye, distract the viewer, and otherwise detract from the overall visual experience. - Various other approaches for obtaining seamless displays include display lensing, blended projection, stackable display cubes, and LED tiles. Display lensing places a single contiguous lens in front of each
display panel 100 to present a fused borderless image in a particular “sweet spot.” However, the viewing angle is relative narrow and image distortion along continuous lines still occurs. Blended projection uses software stitching and mechanical mounting of traditional projection screens. Currently, blended projection uses relatively low cost hardware and is a good option for non-planar surfaces. However, there are significant physical constraints on usage and installation and blended projection requires regular maintenance and sophisticated calibration. - Non-limiting and non-exhaustive embodiments of the invention are described with reference to the following figures, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views unless otherwise specified.

FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate anexample display panel 200 for tiling amulti-panel display 250 formed by a plurality of thedisplay panels 200, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.Display panel 200 is a modular display panel that is configured to be able to interconnect toother display panels 200 to form a multi-panel display that does not have seams that are easily perceived by a viewer of the multi-panel display. This modular design lends itself to easy scaling of a multi-panel display to fit a given context or space. -
Display panel 200 includespixel region 205 mechanically coupled toelectronic housing 203.Pixel region 205 includes pixels and pixel circuitry.Pixel region 205 may be rectangular and the pixels may be arranged in rows and columns.Pixel region 205 could be implemented by a display panel of light-emitting-diodes (“LEDs”), an organic LED (“OLED”) panel, a liquid crystal display (“LCD”), a quantum dot array, or otherwise.Pixel region 205 may also include optical filters to optimize a given display technology, as known in the art.Pixel region 205 may be encased or enclosed in a transparent substrate such as glass or plastic. In one embodiment, a semi-flexible plastic (e.g. polyimide) is used. A thin semi-flexible material may also surround the edges ofpixel region 205 to act as a gasket to protectpixel region 205 from damage whenpixel region 205 is tiled with other display panels. -
Electronic housing 203 includes display logic for displaying images and interconnects coupled to facilitate power and image signals.Electronics housing 203 may include device position circuitry coupled to the display logic. The device position circuitry may be coupled to the interconnects to facilitate device discovery and plug-and-play protocols. The device discovery may be performed using known techniques such as an I2C protocol, or other device discovery technique using a shared bus. By executing device discovery, the device position circuitry can determine (by querying the other connected display panels) what position in the multi-panel display that the givendisplay panel 200 occupies. As an example, if the device position circuitry determines that the givendisplay panel 200 is in a corner of a multi-panel display, the device position circuitry can cause the display logic to display an image (with pixel region 205) that corresponds to the corner position that the display panel occupies. By allowing each panel to detect which panel it is neighboring, the arrangement of the entire array can be reconstructed once all of the panels have been queried. - Each interconnect in
electronic housing 203 may be configured to accept and transmit power and a full video signal. Beneficially, if another display panel is subsequently connected (via the interconnects), that subsequently connected display may receive its power and video signal from the interconnect. Consequently,display panel 200 would be capable of displaying a full overall image (if it is the only display panel), displaying one third of an image (if it is in multi-panel display with three total display panels), or displaying one ninth of an image (if it is in a multi-panel display with nine total display panels in a 3×3 arrangement). Therefore, the display logic inelectronic housing 203 may accept a video input signal and sort the video input signal to filter or isolate the signals in the video input signal that are relevant to the display panel's position in the multi-panel display. The display logic can use the relevant video input signals to then drivepixel region 205 to display the correct portion of the overall image of the multi-panel display. - In
FIG. 2A , cross sectional views ofdisplay panel 200 are presented through line A-A′ and line B-B′. The cross sectional views (combined with the top and bottom view) show that two edges ofpixel region 205 overhangelectronic housing 203. This feature may allowpixel regions 205 ofdisplay panels 200 to be connected closer together in amulti-panel display 250. In the cross sectional view through line A-A′, afirst interconnect 221 and athird interconnect 223 are illustrated. In the cross sectional view through line B-B′, asecond interconnect 222 and afourth interconnect 224 are illustrated. The illustrated interconnects are illustrated enclosed (surrounded on 3 sides) withinelectronic housing 203, but the interconnects may be secured toelectronic housing 203 differently from the illustration. - The cross sectional views of
FIG. 2A show thatelectronic housing 203 includes anabutting section 227 that extends upward toabut pixel region 205 on at least portions of the first edge and the second edge ofpixel region 205. Having abuttingsection 227 abut at least one edge ofpixel region 205 can be useful for connecting driving electronics topixel region 205. For example, in conventional LCD “glass,” a flexible circuit board often extends out from at least one edge of the pixel as a way of connecting the pixels to drive circuitry. Therefore, abuttingsection 227 may provide the mechanical space for the flexible circuit board to be connected to the rest of the display logic inelectronic housing 203. - In
FIG. 2B , twodisplay panels 200 are shown before they are interconnected. In the illustrated embodiment, thefourth interconnect 224 of onedisplay panel 200 will be connected to thesecond interconnect 222 of theother display panel 200.FIG. 2C showsmulti-panel display 250 that includesdisplay panels fourth interconnect 224 ofdisplay panel 200A is connected to thesecond interconnect 222 ofdisplay panel 200B. Similarly, thefourth interconnect 224 ofdisplay panel 200B is connected to thesecond interconnect 222 ofdisplay panel 200C. The abuttingsection 227 ofdisplay panel 200B is disposed under the overhanging fourth edge of thepixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200A. Similarly, the abuttingsection 227 ofdisplay panel 200C is disposed under the overhanging fourth edge of thepixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200B. In other words, thepixel region 205 of the display panels can partially overlap theelectronic housing 203 ofadjacent display panels 200, when interconnected to do so. Because of the overlap,pixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200B is disposed a first distance (in z-dimension 253) belowpixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200A. Similarly,pixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200C is disposed a second distance (in z-dimension 253) belowpixel region 205 ofdisplay panel 200B. Sincedisplay panels FIG. 2C , the seams betweendisplay panels multi-panel display 250. - Since the interconnects in
display panels 200 may be configured to receive power and a video signal, a cord that includes power and a video signal may be plugged into any interconnect to supply power and video to the entiremulti-panel display 250. For example, ifdisplay panel 200A receives power and video throughinterconnect 222, it may share the power and video signal (through any of its interconnects) with connected display panels. Therefore,display panel 200B may receive power and video signals from 200A. Similarly,display panel 200C may receive the power and video signals fromdisplay panel 200B. Hence, providing power and video signals to one interconnect of thedisplay panels multi-panel display 250. -
FIGS. 3A-3C illustrate anexample display panel 300 for tiling anexample multi-panel display 350 formed by a plurality of thedisplay panels 300, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. Similar to displaypanel 200,display panel 300 is a modular display panel that is configured to be able to interconnect toother display panels 300 to form amulti-panel display 350 that does not have seams that are easily perceived by a viewer ofmulti-panel display 350.Pixel region 305 andelectronic housing 303 are similar topixel region 205 andelectronic housing 203, except where discussed or illustrated otherwise. - In
FIG. 3A , it can be seen that electronic housing 2303 does not haveabutting section 227 that extends up to abut the pixel region. Instead, that space is reserved forpixel regions 305 ofother display panels 300 to occupy, when interconnected. InFIG. 3B , twodisplay panels 300 are shown before they are interconnected. In the illustrated embodiment, thefourth interconnect 324 of onedisplay panel 300 will be connected to thesecond interconnect 322 of theother display panel 300. -
FIG. 3C showsmulti-panel display 350 that includesdisplay panels fourth interconnect 324 ofdisplay panel 300A is connected to thesecond interconnect 322 ofdisplay panel 300B. Similarly, thefourth interconnect 324 ofdisplay panel 300B is connected to thesecond interconnect 322 ofdisplay panel 300C. A portion of theelectronic housing 303 ofdisplay panel 300B is disposed under the overhanging fourth edge of thepixel region 305 ofdisplay panel 300A. Similarly, a portion of theelectronic housing 303 ofdisplay panel 300C is disposed under the overhanging fourth edge of thepixel region 305 ofdisplay panel 300B. In other words, thepixel region 305 of the display panels can partially overlap theelectronic housing 303 ofadjacent display panels 300, when interconnected to do so. As illustrated, thepixel regions 305 ofdisplay panels pixel regions 305 and the substantially flush surface may make seams betweendisplay panels 300 unperceivable to a viewer ofmulti-panel display 350. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a front view of three interconnected display panels (400A. 400B, 400C) and a disconnected display panel (400A) before being connected to the three interconnected display panels, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure.FIG. 4 illustrates one particular embodiment that could be implemented intodisplay panels - In
FIG. 4 ,electronic housings 403A-D includeinterconnects interconnects pixel regions 405A-D. InFIG. 4 , thefirst interconnect 421 is coupled to be interconnected from a same side of display panel 400 as the first edge of pixel region 405. Similarly,second interconnect 422,third interconnect 423, andfourth interconnect 424 are coupled to be interconnected from a same side of display panel 400 as the second, third, and fourth edges, respectively, of pixel region 405. -
FIG. 5 illustrates additional details ofelectronic housings 403A-D, that may have been covered bypixel regions 405A-D inFIG. 4 , in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. In addition,FIG. 5 also shows example mechanical mounting structures (“MMSs”) that are positioned to mechanically couple display panels 400 together. TakingFIGS. 4 and 5 in combination, it is apparent that the third edge of pixel regions 405 are mechanically coupled to overhangthird interconnect 423 by a first offsetdistance 411 and that the fourth edge of pixel regions 405 are mechanically coupled to overhangfourth interconnect 424 by second offsetdistance 412. Also apparent is thatfirst interconnect 421 extends beyond the first edge of pixel regions 405 by first offsetdistance 411 and that thesecond interconnect 422 extends beyond the second edge by second offsetdistance 412. - When display panels 400 are interconnected,
first interconnects 421 of one display panel 400 are connected tothird interconnects 423 of another display panel 400. Similarly,second interconnects 422 are connected withfourth interconnects 424. Therefore, offsetdistances FIGS. 4 and 5 , as long as the shape does not mechanically interfere with connecting the interconnects of different display panels 400. -
FIG. 5 illustratesMMSs FIG. 5 , thefirst MMS 561 is disposed to be mechanically interconnected (with another MMS) from a same side of display panel 400 as the first edge of pixel region 405. Similarly,second MMS 562,third MMS 563, andfourth MMS 564 are disposed to be mechanically interconnected from a same side of display panel 400 as the second, third, and fourth edges, respectively, of pixel region 405.First MMS 561 is configured to be connected to athird MMS 563 of another electronic housing 403 andsecond MMS 562 is configured to be connected to afourth MMS 564 of another electronic housing 403. The illustrated positions ofMMSs - Taking
FIGS. 4 and 5 in combination, it is apparent that the third edge of pixel regions 405 is mechanically coupled to overhangthird MMS 563 by first offsetdistance 411 and that the fourth edge of pixel regions 405 is mechanically coupled to overhangfourth MMS 564 by second offsetdistance 412. Also apparent is thatfirst MMS 561 extends beyond the first edge of pixel regions 405 by first offsetdistance 411 and that thesecond MMS 562 extends beyond the second edge by second offsetdistance 412. -
FIG. 6 illustrates amulti-panel display 650 that includes twelve display panels 600 interconnected together in a 3×4 display panel array, in accordance with an embodiment of the disclosure. Display panels 600 could include display panel features shown in connection with the discussions ofFIGS. 2 , 3, 4, and 5. Given the close proximity that the pixel regions 605 are able to achieve because of the mechanical configurations of display panels 600, the seams between display panels 600 may be unperceivable by a viewer ofmulti-panel 650. If display panels 600 include the features ofdisplay panel 300, pixel regions 605 will be substantially flush. - If display panel 600 includes the features of
display panel 200,multi-panel display 650 could be configured in fish-scale configuration. In one example, acorner display panel 600A is adjacent to displaypanel 600B and adjacent to 600E andpixel regions display panel 600A overlapsdisplay panels pixel regions 605I, 605F, and 605C may be disposed two levels belowpixel region 605A, but only one level belowpixel regions pixel regions 605J, 605G, and 605D may be disposed three levels belowpixel region 605A as the overlapping fish-scale configuration moves diagonally throughmulti-panel display 650. Pixel regions 605K and 605H may be disposed four levels belowpixel region 605A andpixel region 605L may be disposed five levels belowpixel region 605A. - Because of the modularity of display panels,
multi-panel display 650 can be easily expanded or contracted. If a smallermulti-panel display 650 is desired, a user can simply disconnectdisplay panels 600D, 600H, and 600L (as an example) to form a 3×3 multi-panel display. If a largermulti-panel display 650 is desired, a user can easily connect additional display panels 600. For example, to expandmulti-panel display 650, a user could interconnect eight more display panels 600 to form a 4×5 multi-panel display. As discussed earlier, device position circuitry may do device discovery and adjust the images for the rest of the display panels 600, based on a subtraction or addition of display panels 600. - The above description of illustrated embodiments of the invention, including what is described in the Abstract, is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed.
