Optical-tiled AMLCD for very large display applications

We present a new method of tiling flat panel displays to a continuous large display. The method was tested for color Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Display (AMLCD) with backlight. Diverging glass fiber-optic faceplates configuration were used to show the principle however the method is applicable and was verified also with plastic faceplates and micro-channels (hollow pipes). The manufacturing of the displays and the faceplates are done separately and then assembled together. The method presented shows very little loss of resolution and very wide viewing angles. There are no limitations to the number of tiled displays in both horizontal and vertical directions.
