Abstract:
1. A planar flexible light emitting diode (LED) display module comprising: a planar flexible substrate supporting a plurality of LEDs; and a set of connectors fixed to the planar flexible substrate, the set of connectors comprising one or more connectors at each of three or more edges of the substrate for connecting the display module to connectors of three or more adjacent planar flexible LED display modules to form a flexible LED display screen, the one or more connectors at each of three or more edges of the substrate comprising: wherein the projections and apertures of the connectors of the display module and the three or more adjacent display modules connect together in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate such that the display module can be connected to, or disconnected from, the three or more adjacent display modules in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate; and wherein the one or more female connectors or the one or more male connectors protrude beyond the respective edge of the display module such that the one or more female connectors or the one or more male connectors overlap with the adjacent display module when connected and the male and female connectors are aligned such that adjacent display modules are secured abutting against one another when connected and during flexing of the display screen thus maintaining a distance between the centers of adjacent LEDs, and horizontal and vertical alignment of the LEDs between adjacent display modules, during flexing of the display screen.
