Abstract
A large screen video display system to display bright video images at high resolution comprises an array of video monitors arranged adjacent each other in a compact matrix, for example, an array of 2.times.2, 3.times.3 or 4.times.4 video monitors. A lenticular optical plate is placed in front of the face plate of each monitor to magnify the video images and project them as a mosaic of images on the back face of a rear projection screen. Circuit means electronically, using digital techniques, divide the original video image into segments, each segment being displayed on a separate monitor, and into sub-segments, for example, 48 rectangular sub-segments, which sub-segments are individually rotated 180.degree. about the image axis on each monitor. A viewer looking at the video image displayed on the front of the RP projection screen sees a continuous image covering the entire screen and is not aware that the image is made up from sub-segments and segments displayed on individual monitors.
