Abstract

A lightweight display includes a plurality of display modules having a plurality of pixels carried by a display mounting frame. A support frame integral with the display mounting frame provides support. An electronic support member carries electrical components electrically communicating with the plurality of display modules for controlling the display of an image. Wherein the depth of the plurality of display modules, display mounting frame, support frame and electronic support member is less than four inches when defining a display assembly. Also wherein the display assembly has a screen size measured diagonally in a range of 114 inches to 224 inches and a weight in the range of 90 pounds to 120 pounds and wherein the display assembly has an aspect ratio ranging from 1.67 to 1.82.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A lightweight display comprising:
(a) a plurality of display modules carried by a display mounting frame, each display module comprising a plurality of light emitting pixel chips;
(b) said display mounting frame comprising a plurality of vertical and horizontal display module mounting surfaces, wherein each one of said plurality of display modules is coupled to at least one of said plurality of module mounting surfaces;
(c) said plurality of display modules carried by said display mounting frame by means of magnetic attraction;
(d) an electronic support member coupled to said display mounting frame, said electronic support member carrying electrical components electrically communicating with said plurality of display modules for controlling the display of an image;
(e) wherein the depth of said plurality of display modules, display mounting frame and electronic support member is less than four inches when defining a display assembly.

2. The lightweight display of claim 1 wherein each display module includes an alignment device and said display module mounting frame has a plurality of alignment devices which work in conjunction with said alignment device of said display modules for aligning the attachment of said display modules with said display module mounting frame.

3. The lightweight display of claim 2 wherein said alignment device consists of a plurality of posts which are received within a post aperture carried by said display module mounting frame.

4. The lightweight display of claim 1 wherein said display modules carry a magnet and wherein said display mounting frame caries a metallic device for carrying said display module.

5. The lightweight display of claim 1 wherein said display modules carry a metallic device and wherein said display mounting frame caries a magnet for carrying said display module.

6. The lightweight display of claim 1 wherein said support frame carries a mounting bracket.

7. The lightweight display of claim 6 wherein said electronic support member includes at least one aperture exposing said mounting bracket to the ambient environment and wherein a respective display module may be removed from said display mounting frame exposing said mounting bracket.

8. The lightweight display of claim 1 wherein said display modules have a pixel density wherein the gap between adjacent pixels both vertically and horizontally is equivalent for all display modules and wherein the spacing between adjacent pixels of adjacent display modules is equivalent to the spacing of pixels on a singular board.
