The present invention is a system and method for providing trapezoidal pixel segments with peripheral interconnections to rows and columns of pixel segments for electrical flat panel display devices. Interconnections made to pixel segments are located substantially in the non-emitting space between pixels. Pixel segment area may be configured to correspond to a desired luminous intensity for individual pixels. Luminous intensity may be determined from user, machine or process identified criteria.

Pixel structure for electrical flat panel displays

A mosaic display system includes a number of tiles. Each of the tiles includes a matrix of pixel elements. The pixel elements selectively provide light at a first surface of the tile in response to address signals. The pixel elements are coupled to an address circuit via conductors at a second surface. The first surface is opposite the second surface. The display system also includes a medium having a mounting surface. The tiles are attached to or above the mounting surface.

Display including tiles and a method of operating and manufacturing the same

An interconnect for use with a pixel layer of a pixel web is provided, the interconnect including an interconnect substrate having a plurality of conductive leads and a plurality of contact vias formed on and extending from the interconnect substrate. The contact vias are formed in a predetermined pattern on the interconnect substrate and are in electrical communication with the conductive leads. The interconnect includes a patterned spacer of a thickness substantially equal to a height of the contact vias. The patterned spacer includes a plurality of through-holes also formed according to the predetermined pattern and having a dimension substantially equal to a dimension of the contact vias. The interconnect substrate and the patterned spacer are capable of being assembled onto the pixel layer, with the patterned spacer being in a middle position and the contact vias extending through the through-holes to contact corresponding cathode portions on the pixel layer.
