Abstract:
1. A support for plural display modules, comprising: a compound structural frame having a back surface, a front surface, and plural peripheral edges coupling said back surface and said front surface for defining a plurality of structural bay members with irregularly shaped cut out areas, said plurality of structural bay members being equally spaced apart and sized for receiving and supporting therein corresponding ones of the plural display modules; wherein said back surface is provided with a plurality of frame mounting features to facilitate coupling said back surface in a face to face relationship with a planar back panel to help provide a billboard display supported from the planar back panel; wherein said front surface is provided with a plurality of display module mounting features to facilitate mechanically and electrically coupling the plural display modules in said plurality of structural bay members; wherein said plurality of structural bay members are arranged in rows and columns, the rows being defined by a plurality of equally spaced apart and sized front face surface lateral ribs and the columns being separated by at least one longitudinal rib; and wherein said plurality of front face surface lateral ribs and said at least one longitudinal rib define a plurality of cutting line guides to help facilitate cutting said compound structural frame into one or more individual structural bay members to provide a customized support ranging in size from a starting maximum full frame size for supporting and receiving said plural display modules to a minimum structural bay member size for supporting and receiving an individual one of said plural display modules.
