<p>The invention is a novel, modular electro-optic video display (1) assembled from inexpensive tiles (2) made from thermoplastic and composite material that are, therefore, durable and able to withstand the abuses of an interactive environment. The tiles (2) employ a plurality of either thermoplastic optical fibers (26) or solid plastic lightguides to convey projected images from a first, or projection surface, to a second, or display surface where the image appears enlarged. The first surfaces are either micro-displays (9) that correspond in an ordered manner with the modular tiles (2) of the second surface, or one or more projection devices which convey information to the second surface through a plurality of ordered optical fiber bundles (26) or light guides. In addition to these imaging fibers or lightguides, each modular tile comprising the second (display) surface is populated with supplementary optical fibers or lightguides which detect electromagnetic energy.</p> |
