Front serviceable mounting apparatus and methods

摘要

Display module mounting apparatus and methods provide mounting features enabling ease of installation and service. The apparatus may have one or more releasable frame couplers and pivoting releasable frame couplers coupled to a display module having a display plane defined in relation to a substrate. One or more adjustable linkages may adjustably define a standoff distance between the display plane and a support frame to which the module may be mounted by the mounting apparatus. Concave and convex adjustments to the display plane may be made. Operation of pivoting action to tilt the display plane enables installation, removal, and serviceability of large displays constructed with a tiled plurality of display modules.

主权项

1. An apparatus for mounting a display module to a support frame, said apparatus comprising:
a) a display module comprising a plurality of light emitting elements coupled to a substrate, said plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a predetermined pattern forming a display plane; b) a releasable frame coupler coupled to said substrate and providing a first standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame; c) a pivoting releasable frame coupler coupled to said substrate and providing a second standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame; d) an adjustable linkage coupled between said pivoting releasable frame coupler and said display plane, said adjustable linkage operative to provide an adjustable deflection of at least a portion of said display plane.
