Bezel-Free LCD Display system design and prototyping

Large area digital displays are often made using tiled liquid crystal display (LCD) units to form a video wall. However the seams or bezel gaps that result are often not acceptable. This project aims to demonstrate and prototype a solution to seamlessly tiling liquid crystal displays (LCDs) to form a large formal digital display.
Tilted light emitting diode (LED) arrays are to be modeled to provide the necessary design guidance to achieve high performance backlit displays. These displays will be optimized for large out-of-home installations for retail and other commercial applications in corporate, retail and transporation sectors among others.
The resulting LED backlit LCD panel technology using a novel collimated lighting design with Fresnel lenses will be tested with working hardware to validate the approach. Optimization of the design will enable maximized performance and minimized cost of such displays. The atrium at the McMaster Innovation Park in Hamilton ON will be used as a test location for this new display technology.
