Abstract

A mobile personsize display system and method of use; in general, a platform, a support frame, a module display frame, an LED panel display formed of a plurality of LED display modules having a plurality of pixels, four or more casters, a battery powered supply, a media player (electrically communicating with the plurality of display modules for controlling the display of an image(s) on the LED panel display, and a removable content storage device and; thus, functions as a rugged person size mobile, light weight, battery powered display to inform customers and passers-by about product and service offerings via a rugged person size mobile light weight battery powered display.

Claims

1. A display system configured to be repositioned on a surface comprising:

a mobile base having a support structure configured to extend therefrom said base;

a sub-frame supported by said support structure;

two or more display sub-assemblies configured with a plurality of light emitters, said two or more display sub-assemblies configured to be releasably affixed to said sub-frame to form a flat panel display having a display edge, wherein at least one said display edge is a minimal distance above the surface;

said two or more display sub-assemblies being positioned adjacent to each other so as to provide, collectively, a single visual area;

each sub-assembly being positioned to maintain a sub-assembly gap between adjacent sub-assemblies;

each of said display sub-assemblies being further characterized in that the plurality of light emitters is arranged in a matrix formation configured with a pixel gap between adjacent light emitters; and

,

the display system being further characterized in that said pixel gap and said sub-assembly gap are approximately equal.

2. The display system of claim 1, the base comprising one or more casters affixed to an underside of said base.

3. The display system of claim 1, further comprising a media player configured to communicate content to said one or more display sub-assemblies.

4. The display system of claim 1, wherein said flat panel display is configured as a single sided display.

5. The display system of claim 1, wherein said flat panel display is configured as a two sided display.

6. The display system of claim 1, further comprising a feedback technology.

7. The display system of claim 6, wherein said flat panel display is configured to display content incorporated from said feedback technology.

8. The display system of claim 1, further comprising a functionality feature.

9. The display system of claim 8, wherein said flat panel display is configured to display content incorporated from said functionality feature.

10. The display system of claim 3, wherein said media player communicates with a scalar board, the scalar board being configured to convert content from one format to another.

11. The display system of claim 10, wherein said scalar board communicates with an electronics device configured to communicate the content to said one or more display sub-assemblies.

12. The display system of claim 11, wherein said electronics device is configured to divide content between said one or more display sub-assemblies.

13. The display system of claim 1, wherein said sub-assembly gap further comprises one or more bend points.

14. The display system of claim 13, wherein said one or more bend points are configured to enable one or more display sub-assemblies to bend to form a curve.

15. The display system of claim 1, wherein said one or more display sub-assemblies are configured to generate a personsize image on the display.

16. The display system of claim 1, wherein said one or more display sub-assemblies are configured to be seamless.
