Masking mechanical separations between tiled display panels

摘要

A tileable display panel includes an array of display pixels including central display pixels near a center of the array having a center pixel pitch and perimeter display pixels along a perimeter of the array. A perimeter region surrounds the array. The perimeter region includes a first side that is joinable to a second side of another instance of the tileable display panel to form a multi-panel display. The perimeter region has a width that is greater than at least half the center pixel pitch such that a gap between adjacent perimeter display pixels of the tileable display panel and the other instance of the tileable display panel when forming the multi-panel display is greater than the center pixel pitch. The gap is visually masked by increasing a characteristic of the perimeter display pixels adjacent to the gap relative to the same characteristic of the central display pixels.

主权项

1. A tileable display panel, comprising:
an array of display pixels to output a screen image, the array of display pixels including central display pixels near a center of the array of display pixels having a center pixel pitch and perimeter display pixels along a perimeter of the array of display pixels; and a perimeter region surrounding the array of display pixels, the perimeter region having a first side that is joinable to a second side of another instance of the tileable display panel to form a multi-panel display, wherein the perimeter region has a width that is greater than at least half the center pixel pitch such that a gap between adjacent perimeter display pixels of the tileable display panel and the other instance of the tileable display panel when forming the multi-panel display is greater than the center pixel pitch, wherein the gap is visually masked by increasing characteristics of the perimeter display pixels adjacent to the gap relative to the same characteristics of the central display pixels, wherein a first characteristic is a pixel pitch of the display pixels such that a perimeter pixel pitch of the perimeter display pixels is greater than the center pixel pitch, wherein a second characteristic is a brightness bias of the display pixels such that the perimeter display pixels along the gap have an increased brightness bias relative to the central display pixels to offset a darkness of the gap.
