1. A tiled, flat-panel, liquid crystal display having visually imperceptible seams, comprising:
- a plurality of individual display tiles having seams therebetween, said individual display tiles comprising pixels, each of said pixels comprising sub-pixel elements associated with each of three primary colors, and wherein said sub-pixel elements are sized and geometrically shaped to compensate for mask misregistration thereby improving the color purity of light from said display when a mask is misregistered relative to said sub-pixel elements thereby substantially eliminating color shifts arising from tile-to-mask registration errors, said color shifts being gradual color shifts within said individual display tiles or abrupt color shifts proximate said seams.

Abstract
Pixel layout and placement designs provide improved color gamut in a tiled flat-panel display. The subpixels of the pixel designs are sized, placed and geometrically shaped so that the color purity, or equal amounts of RGB, are emitted from the display. The pixel designs match the subpixel size with the color filter and spectral content of the illumination source. The layout and placement design of the color pixel elements does not significantly shift the color purity of each pixel of the tile that may be in plane misalignment with respect to aperture masks above and below the tiles in the display configurations.

10. A tiled, flat-panel, liquid crystal display having visually imperceptible seams comprising:
-
a) at least two display tiles located adjacent one another, each comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising sub-pixel elements associated with primary colors and wherein at least some of said sub-pixel elements are substantially rectangular with a vertical dimension greater than a horizontal dimension; and b) at least one mask disposed proximate said plurality of pixels and having apertures substantially aligned with said substantially rectangular sub-pixel elements; whereby said sub-pixels are arranged, shaped, or sized to compensate for mask misregistration such that said a mask may be misregistered relative to said sub-pixel elements without substantially changing the color balance of the light output of said display. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A tiled, flat-panel, liquid crystal display having visually imperceptible seams comprising:
-
a) at least two display tiles located adjacent one another, each comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixel comprising sub-pixels arranged in a predetermined sub-pixel geometry; and b) an optical component proximate to and in a predetermined registration with said pixels; whereby said sub-pixels are arranged, shaped, or sized to compensate for misregistration of said optical component such that upon misregistration of said optical component along one or both of a vertical and a horizontal axis, light from said pixels maintains a predetermined spectral output. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
