Abstract

A light-emitting display system has interlocking tiles. In an implementation, each tile has a portion of a clamp that joins with another portion of the clamp on another tile. A tile is removed from the display by unlocking the clamp portions. The tile is removed without affecting the position of the other tiles in the display.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

providing a first light-emitting tile having a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed thereon and a first connecting member attached adjacent to an edge thereof;

providing a second light-emitting tile having a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed thereon and a second connecting member attached adjacent to an edge thereof;

coupling the first light-emitting tile and the second light-emitting tile together so the first connecting member can connect with the second connecting member such that a side of the first light-emitting tile abuts a side of the second light-emitting tile.
