1Area of stationary object
If multiple display devices are spliced together to form a multi-screen structure, then the display area and information presentation capability are improved, but the integration and communication between devices remain ineffective
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing modules detect the proximity and orientation of adjacent display devices, providing feedback signals to the control circuits. This enables automatic adjustment of display patterns and alignment, ensuring reliable integration and communication between spliced devices without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
Each display device autonomously detects its position relative to adjacent devices using onboard sensing modules and automatically configures its display pattern accordingly. The devices self-align and establish communication without requiring external configuration, improving integration effectiveness.
2Reliability
If sensing modules are added to detect proximity of adjacent displays, then the alignment and communication capability are improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensing modules serve multiple functions: detecting proximity, determining orientation, and triggering appropriate display patterns. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate components and minimizes overall device complexity while improving alignment and communication capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The sensing modules and control circuits are integrated within each display device, combining detection and control functions into a unified system. This merging reduces the number of external components and simplifies the overall device architecture while enhancing alignment capability.
3Ease of operation
If specific patterns are displayed on adjacent pixels to indicate alignment, then the ease of operation is improved, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The control circuits dynamically adjust display parameters such as brightness, color, and pattern configuration based on sensing module feedback. This flexibility allows the system to compensate for manufacturing variations and achieve accurate alignment without requiring extremely tight manufacturing tolerances.
Solution Approach 2:
The display patterns are dynamically adjusted based on the detected position and orientation of adjacent devices. This dynamic adaptation enables the system to accommodate manufacturing variations and achieve proper alignment in operation, reducing the stringency of manufacturing precision requirements.

AI summary
A multi-screen splicing structure (10) has a plurality of display devices (100A, 100B). Each display device (100A, 100B) has a display panel (110A, 100B), a sensing module (120A, 120B), and a control circuit (130A, 130B). When the sensing module (120A, 120B) of a display device (100A, 100B) senses the sensing module (120B, 120C) of another display device (100B, 100A), the control circuit (130A, 130B) determines which side of the display panel (110A, 100B) is adjacent to the proximate display device (100B, 100A) according to the sensing states of a plurality of sensors (122A, 122B) of the sensing module (120A, 120B). The control circuit (130A, 130B) controls a portion of pixels (112A, 112B) adjacent to the proximate display device (100B, 100A) to display a pattern (160A, 160B).
