Abstract

Advances in computer technology have led to growing demand for large high-resolution screens in environments such as large plazas, window displays and smart homes. However, large screens are limited, are difficult to move and are very expensive. Therefore, this study proposes a large dynamic tiled display system that uses all kinds of small- or mid-sized screens with mini PCs or smart devices to dynamically tile an oversized display. Each screen communicates with Ethernet or wireless network. The contribution of this study is to propose a large dynamic tiled display system. The research results show three advantages of the proposed system: (1) It has low cost, as it can use multiple small- or medium-sized screens forming a large dynamic tiled display. (2) It is practical, using portable devices with Wi-Fi, multimedia features and user-friendly interfaces. These features increase the system’s popularity and improve its application. (3) The modular and flexible system architecture can be extended to embedded systems and next-generation display monitors.
