DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method of assembling a modular multi-panel display system, the method comprising:
- assembling a mechanical support structure;
at a first location, detachably mounting a plurality of display panels to the mechanical support structure so as to assemble a plurality of integrated display panel sub-assemblies, each sub-assembly including a plurality of display panels arranged in rows and columns, wherein each display panel includes;
an array of display elements comprising a plurality of rows of display elements and a plurality of columns of display elements so as to form a display panel surface, wherein the display panel surface is sealed to be waterproof,a display driver coupled to the array of display elements,a housing,a receiver circuit disposed inside the housing, anda power supply electrically coupled to the receiver circuit and the display driver, wherein the power supply is configured to convert an alternative current (AC) received at an input and output a direct current (DC);
wherein the mechanical support structure is configured to provide mechanical support to the plurality of display panels without providing waterproof sealing;
wherein the plurality of integrated display panel sub-assemblies are configured to be moved to a second location remote from the first location; and
wherein, at the second location, the plurality of integrated display panel sub-assemblies are configured to be built into a multi-panel display system by assembling the sub-assemblies into an integrated display panel.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to integrated modular display systems. In one embodiment, a modular multi-panel display system includes a mechanical support structure, and a plurality of display panels detachably mounted to the mechanical support structure so as to form an integrated display panel. Each LED panel includes an LED array and an LED driver coupled to the LED array. Each panel further includes a power supply unit disposed outside the housing and electrically coupled to the receiver circuit. The mechanical structure is configured to provide mechanical support to the plurality of display panels without providing hermetic sealing. Each of the plurality of display panels is hermetically sealed.
