Abstract:
A large-scale light emitting diode (LED) image display system, comprising:a plurality of rigid frames positioned in at least one vertical stack so as to form a planar vertical display, wherein said plurality of frames includes a top frame and a bottom frame spaced from the surface, a plurality of vertical rigid bar members mounted to each of said plurality of rigid frames, said bar members being equally spaced apart, a plurality of LED pixels mounted to each of said plurality of bar members, said pixels being equally spaced apart, said LED pixels forming a matrix of pixels, said LED pixels projecting colored light beams defining images, means for bearing the weight of the frames in a tension mode connected to each of said plurality of frames, said means for bearing weight having a top connector and a bottom connector, said top connector of said top frame being for being removably secured to an overhead support, said bottom frame being spaced from the surface, means for removably securing said bottom connector of each stacked frame to said top connector of each below stacked frame, means for tensioning each of said means for bearing weight so as to tightly position all frames of said vertical stack, means for transmitting electrical signals and electrical power to said pixels, and control means for receiving external video signals, processing said signals into memory as still images, processing said still images as multiple image animation data and transferring said animation data to an LED driver for transfer to said pixels as pixel display animation data, said controller means including means for processing color separation capacity of said plurality of said pixels into a plurality of colors in combination with said pixel display animation data, said plurality of colors including color brightness, color balance and color speed.
