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. A method for making a display module, the display module being mountable to a support frame, the method comprising the steps of:
a) coupling a plurality of light emitting elements in a predetermined pattern to a substrate, said plurality of light emitting elements forming a display plane; b) coupling a releasable frame coupler to said substrate, said releasable frame coupler operable to provide a first standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame; c) coupling a pivoting releasable frame coupler to said substrate, said pivoting releasable frame coupler operable to provide a second standoff distance between said display plane and said support frame; d) coupling an adjustable linkage 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.
