| 20100171883 | Data Transmission Over a Video Link - A technique transfers data over a standard video transport, where this data may be in a nonstandard format or include control, audio, or other nonvideo data, or combinations of these. This standard video transport may be a DVI connection. The technique can increase the color depth by transferring high colors signals in a first packet and low colors signals in a second packet. The low and high color signals are combined to form a received pixel which is shown on a display of the display unit. For example, video with increased color depth and audio signals can be transferred over the standard video transport. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20100090934 | ISOLATING ALIGNMENT AND STRUCTURAL STRENGTH IN LED DISPLAY SYSTEMS - A display system, a method of constructing a display system, and a method of displaying an image are provided. In one embodiment, a display system includes a support structure having a plurality of attachment members and a plurality of tiles. Each of the plurality of tiles is attached to a corresponding attachment member of the plurality of attachment members. The support structure is configured to structurally support each of the plurality of tiles, and at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to removably connect and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles with another one of the plurality of tiles. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100090927 | Ladder Display System - A system and a method for creating a light emitting apparatus are disclosed herein. The light emitting apparatus includes at least one display module having at least one light emitting element, in which the display module is connected between one of a support and a support bar at one end and another of a support and a support bar at the other end. The display module may then be electrically connected to another display module and be configured to emit light using the light emitting element. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100033489 | GPU VIDEO PROCESSING AND COLOR CORRECTION - A method of correcting optical variations in a light-emitting display having a plurality of pixels includes transmitting correction transformation information from at least one of the plurality of pixels to a centralized display control module comprising a GPU, determining a correction transformation based on the correction transformation information using the centralized display control module, modifying a source signal based upon the correction transformation using the GPU, thereby creating a corrected signal, and displaying the corrected signal within the light-emitting display. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20090311939 | Color Calibration System for a Video Display - Large digital displays for entertainment, architectural and advertising displays have interconnected display panels with pluralities of light emitting elements. To solve calibration problems, each of the display panels stores measured luminance and chromaticity data for each of the light emitting elements of the panel. The luminance data is independent of the chromaticity data. A central controller can then perform calibration procedures so that the light emitting elements are matched across the entire display. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090310337 | Vertical Handling Apparatus for a Display - A light-emitting display system has interlocking tiles. In an implementation, each tile has a portion of a clamp that joins with another portion of the clamp on another tile. A tile is removed from the display by unlocking the clamp portions. The tile is removed without affecting the position of the other tiles in the display. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309871 | Smart Pixel Addressing - A display unit has modular groups of light emitting elements or pixels. A light emitting element in the display unit can be used as a light receptor for accepting control information without needing to connect the display unit to a network or a controller. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309819 | Collapsible Support Structure for a Display - A support structure for a lighting display can be collapsed down towards the display. In an implementation, the support structure includes a set of first structural members onto which one or more tiles are attached. A second structural member is connected across the first structural members. When the second structural member is removed, the set of first structural members can be collapsed. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090309494 | Alignment Angle Method and Apparatus for a Display - A light-emitting display system has an alignment mechanism to align or angle light-emitting tiles of the display. A first tile connects to a second tile by joining a first clamp portion on the first tile with a second clamp portion on the second tile. In an implementation, the alignment mechanism includes a replaceable angle adjustment insert that is inserted into at least one of the clamp portions, such as the first clamp portion. When the first and second clamp portions are joined, a surface of the second clamp portion presses against the insert and a desired angle between the first and second tile is formed. The insert can have any angle so that any desired angle can be formed between the first and second tiles. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090284978 | SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR AN LED DISPLAY SYSTEM - A display system, a light emitting tile, and a method of constructing a display system are provided. In one embodiment, a display system comprises a support structure having a plurality of attachment members, and a plurality of tiles. Each of the plurality of tiles has an attachment point configured to couple to one of the plurality of attachment members. Furthermore, at least one of the plurality of tiles includes at least one connection configured to couple and align the at least one of the plurality of tiles to another one of the plurality of tiles. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20080247727 | System for creating content for video based illumination systems - A method for generating lighting includes selecting a video clip from a database of generic video clips, processing at least a portion of the video clip to create a customized video clip, sending the customized video clip to a light emitting array, and generating lighting from the light emitting array based on the customized video clip. | 10-09-2008 |
