1. A modular display panel comprising:
- a casing having a recess and attachment points for use in attachment as part of a multi-panel modular display, a perimeter of the casing being substantially rectangular and having a height and a width, wherein the height is half of the width;
a printed circuit board disposed in the recess;
a display surface comprising an array of LEDs attached to a front side of the printed circuit board, whereineach of the LEDs of the LED array is spaced from each respective adjacent LED of the LED array by a pitch,wherein the pitch is a predetermined constant number, andwherein the pitch does not depend on the height and the width; and
a driver circuit electrically coupled to the printed circuit board.

Abstract
An embodiment method of manufacturing modular panels includes manufacturing a group of modular display panels, including a first and second modular display panel that have the same size and shape. The first modular display panel includes a first pixel array arranged at a first pitch, and the second modular display panel includes a second pixel array that is arranged at a second pitch that is different than the first pitch. Any two modular display panels in the group are capable of being attached to each other in an integrated display system.
