At present, the resolution image area is continuous, the color and brightness are the lowest, or the entire image is a single display image. There are many effects to eliminate the two images, including the above. Brightness devices are like a single block containing a consistent description between the descriptions, so that the report can be multiplied by the United States: First, the arrangement of these display devices must enable each individual image block to be an image area. Blocks are closely connected. Second, the display device and the adjacent image blocks may not be completely in close contact. They often occur. Therefore, it is necessary to make each display block as close as possible to the image block generated by the adjacent display device. The combined image will be complete, and the brightness and brightness generated by the display device and the adjacent display device may not be the same. This will make the whole knot or the brightness inconsistent, so it is also necessary to arrange the image blocks generated in There is a gap in the image area of the situation where the shadows of the adjacent shadows continue to match the color or brightness. A display color irregularities and consistent method question comprises a slit, so that the number of shadow correction comprises using the same, and the average of the two adjacent manner. In a word, the image of can be used to complete the gap produced by multiple display devices. That is to eliminate the patent 49740 73. The image is displayed side by side. Each image block is overlapped by the factor between the image block and the image block to make two adjacent image blocks. The discontinuous reduction of the brightness of the image block makes its ultimate goal to make each integrated image block that forms a single connection combined with an enlarged version of the generated image. Among them, the method of discontinuity between images is U.S. Patent 5,13,639. System
