Abstract

A tiled display system is disclosed, which includes: a plurality of display devices; and a controller driving the plurality of display devices to enable each display device to display a sub-frame, all sub-frames being tiled as one frame, wherein the display devices include: a first display device that starts displaying first and a last display device that starts displaying last, the first display device displays the sub-frame at a first time point, the last display device displays the sub-frame at a last time point, and the first time point and the last time point satisfy an equation: 0<( Tn−T 1)≤(1/ H 1)×[( N −1)/ N ], where T1 is the first time point, Tn is the last time point, H1 is a refresh rate of each display device, and N is a number of the display devices. In addition, a display device including a plurality of display panels is also disclosed.
