Abstract:
A tiled, flat-panel AMLCD display, comprising:a) at least two AMLCD tiles, each of said AMLCD tiles having front and back faces and containing a plurality of pixels, said pixels being located at a predetermined pixel pitch in at least one dimension, said AMLCD tiles being placed adjacent one another with a gap therebetween;b) spacing means placed in said gap between said AMLCD tiles such that the width of said gap is less than said pixel pitch;c) front, monolithic masking means fixedly attached to said front faces of said AMLCD tiles by first adhesive means;d) a cover plate fixedly attached to said front, monolithic masking means;e) back, monolithic masking means fixedly attached to said back faces of said AMLCD tiles by second adhesive means; andf) a back plate fixedly attached to said back, monolithic masking means, said back plate being a mounting substrate;such that when collimated light within a predetermined range of angles is projected through said tiled, flat-panel AMLCD display, said gap between said AMLCD tiles is visually imperceptible to a viewer at a predetermined viewing position.
