Abstract

Claims (18)

1. A method for assembling and disassembling a display system comprising:

providing a plurality of modules, each module including a light emitting unit and a video support structure, the video support structure comprising: a first support member, a second support member, a brace extending from one given pinnable joint to another pinnable joint, a portion of the second support member and a portion of the brace received by a surface formed by the first support member, the one given pinnable joint having an opening in each of the first support member, the brace and the second support member, the openings being aligned to receive one or more pins; and the one or more pins compression fitted into the aligned openings of the first support member, the brace and the second support member to form at least a portion of the video support structure;

positioning and selectively engaging a plurality of modules together to form a first tier;

lifting the first tier;

positioning and selectively engaging a plurality of modules together to form a second tier; and

attaching the second tier to the first tier.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein attaching the second tier to the first tier forms a plurality of columns of modules.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the at least one light emitting unit extends substantially laterally along at least one of the plurality of modules.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modules are mounted on carts and positioning includes aligning the carts.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein positioning includes interconnecting the carts.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein positioning and selectively engaging the plurality of modules together to form the first tier includes selectively securing the first tier of modules to a lifting device, wherein lifting the first tier includes the lifting device lifting the first tier from the carts, wherein positioning and selectively engaging the plurality of modules together to form the second tier includes positioning the carts to substantially vertically align the second tier with the first tier, and comprising lifting the first tier and second tier with the lifting device from the carts.

7. The method of claim 6 , comprising:

lowering the second tier onto the carts;

disconnecting the second tier from the first tier positioning and selectively disengaging the modules forming the second tier lowering the first tier onto the carts disconnecting the first tier from the lifting device; and

positioning and selectively disengaging the modules forming the first tier.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein positioning and selectively disengaging the modules forming the first tier includes moving the carts from their aligned arrangement.

9. The method of claim 6 , comprising:

removing a module from at least one of the first tier and the second tier of modules by selectively disengaging and/or disconnecting the modules from at least one of the adjacent modules and the lifting device.
