Self-erectable displays and methods of making such self-erectable displays are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a shroud including a first shroud panel; a second shroud panel opposite the first shroud panel; a first end separating the first shroud panel and the second shroud panel; and a second end separating the first shroud panel and the second shroud panel; and an elastic band to be coupled to the shroud between the first and second ends to outwardly bias the first shroud panel relative to the second shroud panel to enable the shroud to have an oblong cross-section when erected.

A ribband for a stretched fabric three-dimensional structure comprising at least one light source incorporated in the ribband, wherein the ribband comprises two adjacent recesses separated by a tongue designed to receive the fastening elements of the stretched fabrics, wherein each recess comprises a bottom, an inner side wall forming the tongue and an outer side wall, wherein each outer side wall defines a peripheral wing of the ribband.

Among other things, we describe a physical bulletin board. The bulletin board includes at least one physical component configured to interface with at least one electronic component. In some implementations, the bulletin board includes the electronic component, e.g., as a built-in display. For example, the built-in display may be associated with a processor that can run software that augments the functionality of the bulletin board. In some implementations, the bulletin board includes a component, such as a mounting apparatus, that receives a mobile computing device (MCD). For example, the MCD can run software that augments the functionality of the bulletin board.

A display system may include a decal including a substrate layer, and a removable adhesive layer applied to the substrate layer, the removable adhesive layer being capable of forming a temporary adhesive bond between the substrate layer and a support surface, and a folded display including a first panel connected to a second panel along a seam, a first tab connected to the first panel along a first side edge, a second tab connected to the second panel along a second side edge, and a permanent adhesive material applied to the first tab and the second tab, the permanent adhesive material being capable of forming a permanent adhesive bond between the tabs and the substrate layer.

A display device that includes a housing with at least one Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and a plurality of rollers disposed in the housing. The display device also includes a display unit which, in turn, includes a display panel and a module cover. The display device further includes a driving unit that is connected to the display panel and the module cover. The driving unit moves the display panel and the module cover between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the panel and module cover are wound around at least one of the plurality of rollers, and in the second state they are unwound from the at least one of the plurality of rollers and exposed by being drawn out from the housing.

A supporting apparatus for suspending two displays includes: a base seat unit including a fixing bracket and a pillar that is connected to the fixing bracket; two suspending arms, each having a first end portion that is movably connected to the pillar unit such that each of the suspending arms is movable along the pillar, and a second end portion that is opposite to the first end portion; two slide track units respectively connected to the second end portions of the suspending arms; and two display-supporting bracket units movably connected to the slide track units for mounting the displays. Through operation of the suspending arms, the sliding track units and the display-supporting bracket units, the displays can be moved to juxtapose and contact each other.

An integrated furniture system inconspicuously houses audiovisual equipment. The system includes a projector cabinet and a columnar supported screen assembly. The assembly comprises a screen for displaying a projected image with a frame around its perimeter and a pair of columnar screen supports located at opposite side edges of the screen. Each column comprises a hollow base with a slot formed in its interior surface and a foldable column with hollow top and bottom sections interconnected by a hinge. The bottom section has an attachment plate and a tongue portion extending from an exterior surface thereof. The tongue portion is insertable within the slot in the hollow base. A bracket attaches the screen to the neighboring columnar screen support. The bracket has a pair of side rails, one which is attached to a side surface of the column facing the screen and the other rail attached to the screen frame.

A rollable display device includes a flexible display panel displaying an image, a housing accommodating the flexible display panel in a rolled state, the housing having a bent opening portion through which the flexible display panel is pulled out, and a grip attached to the flexible display panel, the grip pulling the flexible display panel out of the housing by an external force.

Portable display boards of the type commonly used for business and educational presentations in conferences, trade shows and fairs, for example, that can be made from a variety of materials including foam board and rigid paper pulp are provided with multimedia device mounts for attaching a multimedia device to the front face of a display board, base stands, and protective corners.
