Abstract
An electro-optic display conveys partial images from a plurality of input surfaces to a display surface whose area is greater than or equal to that of the input surfaces together, such that the partial images communicated onto the input surfaces appear as an enlarged single image on the display surface. The display surface is made of tiles that are connected to a structural frame to allow contours. A micro-display communicates with each input surface, each micro-display corresponding in an ordered, one-to-one fashion with a tile of the display surface. The partial images are generated from a single image by an image segmenter.
