Patent ID: 7473020

Claim:
A light emitting diode (LED) display, comprising: drive circuitry to provide a drive current; a control processor to provide a control signal; a frame including a first edge and a second edge; a plurality of cables extending rigidly from the first edge of the frame to the second edge of the frame, each cable including a power wire electrically coupled to the drive circuitry to transmit a portion of the drive current, a ground wire, and at least one data bus wire coupled to the control circuitry to transmit at least a portion of the control signal; and at least one pixel module coupled to each cable, each pixel module including: a power electrode electrically coupled to the power wire of the coupled cable to receive a portion of the drive current transmitted by the coupled cable; a ground electrode electrically coupled to the ground wire of the coupled cable; a bus electrode electrically coupled to the data bus wire of the coupled cable to receive the portion of the control signal transmitted by the coupled cable; an LED light source; and pixel control circuitry electrically coupled to the power electrode, the ground electrode, the bus electrode, and the LED light source, the pixel control circuitry adapted to drive the LED light source with the drive current based on the portion of the control signal received from bus electrode.
