Abstract

“An LED luminous screen, particularly for mega screens, giant graphical video screens, lighting effects and the like, comprising a plurality of pixels arranged according to an array, each pixel being formed by a plurality of LEDs which are associated with a printed circuit contained in a main body that forms the individual pixel; the screen comprises, for each column of the array, at least one supporting cable that can be fixed between the main bodies or to each one of the main bodies that belong to the same vertical row of the array by way of fixing means and extend substantially at right angles to an upper supporting bar, which can be arranged horizontally; the main bodies belonging to adjacent columns are mutually connectable by way of connection means in order to keep the main bodies substantially on a same plane and at a given distance between the elements.”

Claims

1-14. -14. (canceled)

15. An LED luminous screen, particularly for mega screens, giant graphical video screens, lighting effects and the like, comprising a plurality of pixels arranged according to an array, each pixel being formed by a plurality of LEDs which are associated with a printed circuit contained in a main body that forms the individual pixel, further comprising, for each column of said array, at least one supporting cable that can be fixed between the main bodies or to each one of said main bodies that belong to the same row of said array by way of fixing means and extend substantially at right angles to an upper supporting bar or tensioned cable which can be arranged horizontally, said main bodies belonging to adjacent columns of said array being mutually connectable by way of connection means in order to keep said main bodies substantially on a same plane.

16. The screen according to claim 15, wherein said connection means are adapted to transmit electric power.

17. The screen according to claim 15, wherein said connection means comprise elastic shape memory means.

18. The screen according to claim 15, wherein said connection means comprise fixed and tensioned cables.

19. The screen according to claim 15, wherein said connection means comprise rigid spacers with an articulation point.

20. The screen according to claim 15, wherein said connection means comprise rigid or flexible spacers which supply, with the transport of current, the two main bodies connected thereto.

21. The screen according to claim 15, wherein each one of said main bodies comprises a front half-shell, which forms at least one opening for the connection of said LEDs and a rear half-shell, which forms said means for fixing to said at least one supporting cable.

22. The screen according to claim 15, further comprising two of said supporting cables for each one of said rows of said array.

23. The screen according to claim 21, wherein said rear half-shell has two upper openings and two corresponding lower openings for the passage of said two supporting cables.

24. The screen according to claim 22, wherein said supporting cables can be inserted in two cylinders which are accommodated inside each one of said main bodies and can be fixed to said supporting cables by means of screws, said cylinders being fixable to said rear half-shell and forming said fixing means.

25. The screen according to claim 17, wherein said elastic shape memory means comprise a plurality of C-shaped elements made of elastically flexible material which can be fixed between each pair of said adjacent main bodies so that the arms of said C-shaped elements are fixed to said rear half-shells of said main bodies.

26. The screen according to claim 21, wherein said two supporting cables are power supply cables of said printed circuit.

27. The screen according to claim 26, further comprising, for each one of said main bodies, an internal wiring for the connection of said power supply cables to said printed circuit.

28. The screen according to claim 15, wherein each one of said main bodies comprises visor means for said LEDs.
