Abstract

The product of the present design is a display unit that uses tiny LED elements as a light source. While it can function alone, it is typically assembled with multiple units. Combining many units creates a large screen, while a smaller number of units can create a relatively small screen. The product of the present design includes a layer (hereinafter referred to as the "decorative layer") with photographs, paintings, and other graphical decorations visible on the screen, and a small opening is formed around the LED elements that serve as the light source. Therefore, as shown in the reference diagram showing an example of an embodiment, when the product of the present design is not energized, only the decoration on the decorative layer is visible; when energized, only the image projected on the display is visible. (In the reference enlarged view of part CC, the area indicated by the leader line 1 is the opening, 2 is the display surface, 3 is the LED elements, and 4 is the surface of the decorative layer.) In this way, the product of the present design functions as a display device for projecting images and other content, as well as a decorative material that can be embedded in the interior and exterior walls of buildings. There are a variety of specific usage scenarios, but for example, if it is used on the interior wall of a living room in a home, it can be used as a display for watching television broadcasts, etc., and when not in use, it simply becomes a wall, eliminating the need to place a television receiver in the living room and increasing the freedom in structuring the living space.
