LARGE SCALE DISPLAY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A large scale display system for displaying images, the system comprises a display screen formed of one or more display panels, the or each said display panel having at least one display segment formed of spaced elongate members, each elongate member having a conductive carrier supported therein and spaced controllable pixel units mounted on said conductive carrier, the pixel units in the elongate members being arranged to form a matrix of pixels;
- a bus member arranged along one edge of the display screen, or along one or each of the opposed edges of the or each said display panel for conveying power and/or video data signals to said carriers;
the bus member of the or each said display screen or panel being in communication with a panel control unit arranged to supply said power and/or video data signals to the bus member(s) of the or each panel/segment for controllably energising said pixel units thereof to thereby controlling luminance of the pixels.

Abstract
A large scale LED display system (12) is provided on a building structure (100). The system has a screen (12) formed of a number of side by side display panels (14) which may be foldable or rollable. Each panel has a number of equally spaced transparent polycarbonate tubes (80) which house pixel units (50) of LEDs (51) connected to printed circuit board (120) and a row controller (121) for controlling luminance of the LEDs. A bus member (54) convey power and video control signals from a panel controller (77) to each row controller. The panel controller has an initialising process adapted to allocate temporary addresses for the tubes and determine screen size accordingly. Video segments are extracted by the row controllers based on the addresses associated with the video control signals from the panel controller.

43. A large scale display system for displaying images, the system comprises a display screen formed of one or more foldable or rollable display panels, the or each said display panel having at least one display segment formed of intersecting conductive wires arranged in a matrix of rows and columns, and spaced pixel units supported by one or more of the wires in said rows or columns, or by one or more support lines extending along the or each said display panel, and the spaced pixel units being arranged to be controllably energisable pixels;
- a bus member arranged along one edge of the display screen or along one edge of the or each said display panel for conveying power and/or control signals to said wires; and
a panel control unit provided for the or each said display panel and arranged to supply said control signals to the bus member(s) for controlling luminance of the pixels, said panel control unit(s) being configured to receive video signals from a video source and to transform the received video signals into modulated video data signals for conveying to the bus member(s) and having an initialisation arrangement for initialising the pixel units to respond to video data signals with corresponding addresses allocated to the pixel units.
- a bus member arranged along one edge of the display screen or along one edge of the or each said display panel for conveying power and/or control signals to said wires; and
