Flexible pixel element and signal distribution means
First Claim
1. A power and signal distribution system, comprising:
- a plurality of flexible pixel strings each including at least two discrete flexible pixel element devices conjoined in series; and
at least one serial line controller including one or more serial line driver electronic circuits configured to supply operating power, image data, and one or more control signals to the plurality of flexible pixel strings,wherein each of the plurality of flexible pixel strings are operatively conjoined with the at least one serial line controller thereby apportioning the plurality of flexible pixel strings into a flexible pixel string array.

Abstract
Discreet flexible pixel elements connected in series comprise flexible pixel strings that are conformably applied to irregular shapes and surfaces thereby to produce free-form electronic displays and signage. Means for serial connection of discreet flexible pixel elements enable efficient power, data and control signal distribution. Image data conversion means translates conventional graphical image data into visual image data and control signals to drive discreet flexible pixel elements. The discreet flexible pixel element, serial connection means, and signal distribution means of the present invention enable efficient, economical production of large scale, free-form electronic displays, signs and lighting effects.
