Abstract
A tiled, passive-matrix, EL display, including two or more EL tiles, each EL tile including an array of rows and columns of light-emitting elements, each light-emitting element being formed from a light-emitting layer that is sandwiched between an orthogonal array of row and column electrodes wherein each of the two or more EL tiles further include at least one row driver; at least one column driver for operating in conjunction with each of the at least one row drivers to control the flow of electrons between the row and column electrodes to control the emission of light from each of the light-emitting elements, with a first exception that when the boundary between the two tiles is to be illuminated, then the number of rows of simultaneously illuminated rows of light-emitting elements within one tile is less than the predetermined number.
