Patent ID: 7355562

Claim:
A modular graphics paneled assembly comprising: a first modular block, including a display surface, an edge portion defining at least plural flat surfaces, first contacts for power distribution and second contacts for signal distribution, located with electrical contacts exposed on at least first and second of said plural flat surfaces, and a mechanical interlock portion formed on the edge surface, said mechanical interlock portion shaped to form a trapezoidal portion that has a first portion with said first flat surface, and said second flat surface, and first and second angled portions that extend between said first and second flat surfaces and are non-perpendicular to either of said first or second flat surfaces, said trapezoidal portion allowing in a way that allows said first modular block to be connected or disconnected from structure associated with another modular block by moving one of said blocks in a direction substantially perpendicular to said display surface, and said mechanical interlock portion also shaped to prevent said first modular block from being connected or disconnected from structure associated with another modular block by motion in a direction substantially parallel to said display surface.
