Abstract
The subject design is a small 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 relatively large screen, while a small screen can be constructed with a few units. The subject design includes a layer (hereinafter referred to as the "decorative layer") that is colored and decorated with various graphical elements to be visible on the screen, with a small opening around the LED element that serves as the light source. Therefore, as shown in the reference diagram showing an example of an embodiment, when the subject design is not powered, only the decoration on the decorative layer is visible; when powered, only the image projected on the display is visible (in the enlarged reference diagram of part C and D, the area indicated by the leader line 1 is the opening, 2 is the display surface, 3 is the LED element, and 4 is the surface of the decorative layer). Thus, the subject design functions as a display device for projecting images and other content, and as a decorative material embedded in the interior walls of buildings, vehicles, etc. There are various specific usage scenarios, but for example, if it is embedded in the dashboard of a passenger car and used as a display for a navigation device, there will be no need to install a dedicated display, and there will be more freedom in the configuration of the interior space of the car.
