Replaceable intelligent pixel module for large-scale LED displays

摘要

The apparatus is a detachable LED module which is used to display a pixel on a display. The LED module includes a rear wall and side walls. A plurality of LEDs along with a processor with input and output capabilities are contained within the LED module. The rear wall includes an aperture to receive an electrical jack from the display so as to communicate data, power and commands to the LED module. The input and output capabilities of the processors along separate data paths allow modules to be "daisy-chained" together with data intended for a single module to be passed through a succession of modules while commands are monitored from the ribbon cables and power is drawn therefrom.
