A direct view light emitting diode (DV LED) display (), includes (i) one or more DV LED modules () each containing at least one circuit board () having an array of surface mount device LEDs () defining a display surface (), and (ii) a protective transparent polymeric film () covering at least a portion of the display surface. The transparent polymeric film includes a polymer material layer (), and an adhesive layer () laminated to the polymer material layer and directly attached to the display surface of the DV LED module. The transparent polymeric film may facilitate the use of touch screen technology with a DV LED display, and may be removable to allow repair or disassembly/reassembly of the DV LED display.

A mounting and leveling system for an electronic image display device () formed of an array of multiple display sections () facilitates adjustment of the alignment of adjacent display sections to minimize visible seams between display sections. Some embodiments include one or more magnetically actuated fasteners () that facilitate front-access-only installation and adjustment without requiring access to the rear, top, bottom, or sides of the array. Tools () for installation and removal of display modules () from a front side of the display device are also disclosed. Fasteners () for providing a hidden adjustable connection between first and second objects are also disclosed. One such fastener includes a screw () having a magnetic head () that presents a magnetic moment perpendicular to its axis of rotation ().
