Image Portal offers their modular OLED display IP on auction

Image Portal are selling their OLED related patents - which will be auctioned off at ICAP Ocean Tomo's Spring 2011 Live IP Auction on March 31, 2011 in New York City. Basically their invention is using several small OLED display tiles to create one large, seamless and continuous OLED display. This is achieved by making the edges of the tiles tilted at an angle and so the remaining portion is kept underneath the display area of an adjacent tile and is used for electrical connections.

Using smaller OLED tiles to create a large display is not a new idea (that's how Mitsubishi's Diamond Vision OLED screens work) - but here the company is describing a display in which you won't be able to see the seams between the display.
