1. A visual display system comprising:

  • first and second display screens for displaying a predetermined video image on a front surface thereof, wherein each display screen includes a planar display surface, wherein the first and second display screens are mounted in an abutting relationship along respective edges such that the respective display surfaces of said first and second display screens intersect at a predetermined angle, and wherein the front surfaces of said first and second display screens define a concave shape such that a rear surface of each display screen is wider than a corresponding front surface to thereby define a rear edge portion along each respective edge of said first and second display screens which extends outwardly beyond the corresponding front surface;

    video projection means for projecting the predetermined video image on said first and second display screens for display thereon;

    first and second tabs bonded to the rear edge portion of a respective display screen, wherein each tab extends rearwardly from the rear surface of the respective display screen such that the video image projected by said video projection means on said first and second display screens is not masked by said rearwardly extending tabs, and wherein at least one of said tabs is opaque such that the projected video image will not pass between said display screens to thereby clarify at least the portion of the video image displayed along the edges of said first and second display screens; and
