Claim:
A display apparatus comprising: a foldable frame having a plurality of display panel connectors; said foldable frame being foldable for transport and unfoldable for assembly to at least one display panel for erection as said display apparatus; said at least one display panel comprising, at least in part, a layer of stretchable fabric, said display panel including a plurality of apertures for removably connecting to said plurality of display panel connectors, said plurality of apertures being located spaced apart from one another proximal a perimeter of said display panel, each of said plurality of apertures being so configured as generally elongated in shape and oriented in a particular angular orientation such that when said display panel is stretched and connected to said frame by affixing said plurality of apertures to said plurality of display panel connectors, said display panel appears substantially wrinkle free, wherein, in a final assembled state as said display apparatus, said display panel is capable of being readily user-removed from said frame for de-assembling said display apparatus and folding said frame for transport; wherein said display panel is generally rectangular in configuration and includes a top edge including two corners and a bottom edge including two corners, and wherein each said corner of said top and bottom edges includes one of said plurality of apertures located proximal thereto; wherein each of said plurality of apertures includes an axis extending longitudinally through the length thereof; and wherein said axes of said apertures located proximal said corners of said top edge are oriented at a substantially different angular orientation than said axes of said apertures located proximal said corners of said bottom edge; wherein said display panel has a perimeter comprised of two vertical sides joined to two horizontal sides, and wherein said axes of two apertures located non-diagonally, adjacent one another are oriented substantially parallel to one of said vertical or said horizontal sides; and wherein said axes of two different apertures located non-diagonally adjacent one another are oriented to a large extent non-parallel to both said vertical and said horizontal sides.
