Abstract:

A segmented display system in which the display devices are arranged in a N×1 array is described. The segmented display system includes a plurality of projection devices that each project a portion of an image on a corresponding one of the display devices in the N×1 array. Distortion at the seams between display devices in the N×1 array are minimized by aligning each projection device using a lens mounting based on the position of such projection device in the N×1 array.
