Abstract

The invention relates to a light source display, comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements (LEEs), such as for example LEDs, being arranged on a horizontal and vertical grid resulting in an array or a matrix of LEEs or LEDs forming a LEE or LED board. More particularly, the invention relates to a display with a drive circuit configuration comprising at least two drive circuits, wherein at least one of the LEEs or LEDs driven by a first driver of a first drive circuit is residing physically with a second drive circuit. Herewith, improved visual performance of the display can be achieved, as well as improved interplay of the display with a camera recording an image from the display, or else the display can be enhanced for 3D application.

Claims (46)

1. A display, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting elements (LEEs);

an electronical interface including electrical connections that electrically connect a LEE drive circuit to the plurality of LEEs the electrical connections providing control signals the plurality of LEEs; and

molding in between and/or on top of the LEEs,

wherein said molding has one or more notches between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present, and

wherein said notches are characterized by removal of parts of the molding, defined as intermittent parts in areas where none of the LEEs are present.

2. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the intermittent parts are randomly chosen.

3. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the intermittent parts removed have regular or irregular shape.

4. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the intermittent parts have a rectangular, triangular, circular or random cross section.

5. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of LEEs are arranged in an array.

6. The display according to claim 1 , wherein the array is rectangular.

7. The display according to claim 1 , further comprising a non-volatile memory.

8. The display according to claim 1 , wherein said LEEs are light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and hence the display being a LED display.

9. The display according to claim 1 , further comprising a light and/or acoustic absorbing material provided within the notch.

10. The display according to claim 1 , wherein 5% to 20% of a surface area of the molding comprises notches.

11. The display according to claim 1 , further comprising an acoustic absorbing material provided within the notch.

12. The display according to claim 1 , a depth of the notches is not greater than a depth of the molding.

13. A method for enhancing a visual performance of a module comprising:

providing a display in a studio environment, the display comprising

a plurality of light-emitting elements (LEEs);

an electronical interface including electrical connections that electrically connect a LEE drive circuit to the plurality of LEEs the electrical connections providing control signals the plurality of LEEs; and

molding in between and/or on top of the LEEs,

wherein said molding has one or more notches between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present;

displaying an image on said display; and

recording with a camera at least a part of said image displayed by the display.

14. A method for manufacturing a display having improved visual performance, the method comprising:

providing a display comprising a plurality of LEEs and molding in between and on top of the LEEs;

selecting areas in the molding where none of the LEEs are present; and

forming one or more notches within the molding by removing at least part of the molding in said selected areas, determined as intermittent parts.

15. The method according to claim 14 , wherein said one or more notches are formed by a carving technique.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein said plurality of LEEs are light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and hence the display being a LED display.

17. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising providing a light absorbing material within the notches.

18. The display according to claim 14 , wherein 5% to 20% of a surface area of the molding comprises notches.

19. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising providing an acoustic absorbing material within the notches.

20. The method according to claim 14 , wherein said one or more notches are formed by an etching technique.

21. A display, comprising:

a plurality of light-emitting elements (LEEs);

an electronical interface including electrical connections that electrically connect a LEE drive circuit to the plurality of LEEs the electrical connections providing control signals the plurality of LEEs;

molding in between and/or on top of the LEEs; and

light and/or an acoustic absorbing structures including light and/or an acoustic absorbing material provided on a surface of portions of the molding between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present.

22. The display according to claim 21 , wherein said light and/or an acoustic absorbing structures includes one or more notches in the molding between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present.

23. The display according to claim 21 , wherein said light and/or an acoustic absorbing material is applied directly to a top surface of the molding.

24. The display according to claim 21 , wherein 5% to 20% of a surface area of the molding comprises said light and/or an acoustic absorbing structures.

25. The display according to claim 21 , comprising light absorbing structures including light absorbing material provided on a surface of portions of the molding between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present.

26. The display according to claim 21 , comprising acoustic absorbing structures including an acoustic absorbing material provided on a surface of portions of the molding between the LEEs or notches in areas where none of the LEEs are present.

27. The display according to claim 21 , wherein said light and/or an acoustic absorbing material is held to the top surface of the molding by an adhesive.
