Abstract

Disclosed is a display device, a system for creating a display, and a process of creating a display. The process includes providing image data to a first spectator display device, the first spectator display device including one or more light emitting elements, providing image data to a second spectator display device, and activating at least one of the one or more light emitting elements based upon the image data. The first spectator display device is positioned within a spectator region of a venue and creates a display having an illusion of a continuous image.

Claims (32)

1 . A process of creating a display having an illusion of a continuous image, the process comprising:

providing image data to a first spectator display device, the first spectator display device including one or more light emitting elements; and

providing image data to a second spectator display device; and

activating at least one of the one or more light emitting elements based upon the image data;

wherein the first spectator display device is positioned within a spectator region of a venue.

2 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the first spectator display device is independently controlled.

3 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes independently turning a display capability of the first spectator display device on or off.

4 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes independently controlling a level of intensity of the light emitting elements to vary the brightness of light displayed.

5 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes independently controlling the light emitting elements to vary the color displayed by each of the light emitting elements.

6 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes independently controlling the light emitting elements to vary the duration and sequence of light displayed.

7 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes controlling only a portion of the one or more light emitting elements.

8 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the activating includes controlling all of the one or more light emitting elements simultaneously.

9 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting elements include light emitting diodes.

10 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the image data is real-time data from a live feed.

11 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting elements are activated to display a pixel image or a sequence of pixel images.

12 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the first spectator display device is independently powered.

13 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the first spectator display device further includes a display controller preprogrammed with image data.

14 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the display uses the coordinates of a focal object at the venue as the focal point for determining one or more view angles for the pixel image.

15 . The process of claim 1 , wherein the process further includes creating digital pixel image data having corresponding electronic properties including position in a digital array grid, a predetermined color, and a predetermined intensity.

16 . The process of claim 15 , wherein the process further includes creating an array map having display coordinates corresponding to one or more individual spectator positions within the spectator region of the venue.

17 . The process of claim 16 , wherein the process further includes assigning all or a portion of the digital pixel image data to corresponding all or a portion of the display coordinates.

18 . The process of claim 17 , wherein the image data includes the digital pixel image data.

19 . A system for creating a display having an illusion of a continuous image, the system comprising:

a first spectator display device, the first spectator display device including one or more light emitting elements;

a second spectator display device; and

a controller capable of providing image data to one or both of the first spectator display device and the second spectator display device;

wherein at least one of the one or more light emitting elements is capable of being activated based upon the image data; and

wherein at least a portion of the first spectator display device is positioned within a spectator region of a venue.

20 . A spectator display device for creating a display in a venue, the spectator display device comprising:

one or more light emitting elements capable of being activated upon receiving image data;

wherein the spectator display device is positioned within a spectator region of the venue;

wherein the image data corresponds with a portion of the display.
