Abstract: A display tile for arranging with other display tiles to form a multi-tile display includes display pixels in an active display area, pixel tape sections, and a transparent layer. The pixel tape sections surround the display pixels. Each pixel tape section overlaps an adjacent pixel tape section and is overlapped by another adjacent pixel tape section disposed opposite the adjacent pixel tape section. Each pixel tape section includes a pixel array. The transparent layer is disposed over the display pixels and the pixel arrays of the pixel tape sections. The display pixels and the pixel arrays are arranged to display an overall image of the display tile.

Abstract: A tileable display panel includes an illumination layer, a display layer, and a screen layer. The display layer is disposed between the screen layer and the lamp layer and includes pixelets. Each of the pixelets is positioned to be illuminated by lamp light from the illumination layer and to project a magnified image sub-portion onto the screen layer such that the magnified image sub-portions collectively blend together to form a unified image on the screen layer. Each of the pixelets includes core pixels and peripheral pixels surrounding the core pixels on one or more sides which provide a higher image resolution in overlap regions on the screen layer when the magnified image sub-portions overlap on the screen layer.

Abstract: A tileable display panel includes an array of display pixels including central display pixels near a center of the array having a center pixel pitch and perimeter display pixels along a perimeter of the array. A perimeter region surrounds the array. The perimeter region includes a first side that is joinable to a second side of another instance of the tileable display panel to form a multi-panel display. The perimeter region has a width that is greater than at least half the center pixel pitch such that a gap between adjacent perimeter display pixels of the tileable display panel and the other instance of the tileable display panel when forming the multi-panel display is greater than the center pixel pitch. The gap is visually masked by increasing a characteristic of the perimeter display pixels adjacent to the gap relative to the same characteristic of the central display pixels.

The first microlens array is coupled to receive the image light from a pixel array of an image generation layer. The second microlens array is disposed between the front screen and the first microlens array. The second microlens array is offset from the first microlens array by approximately a focal length of microlenses in the first microlens array. The second microlens array is coupled to direct the image light received from the first microlens array through front screen. Each of the microlenses in the first microlens array is axially aligned with a corresponding microlens in the second microlens array.
