Abstract:
A display module comprises a support structure, a plurality of light-emitting elements mounted to the support structure, and a latch assembly that includes a latch plate comprising a magnetically-engageable material, wherein the latch plate is moveable relative to the module support structure within a range of motion between a first position and a second position. The magnetically-engageable material of the latch plate forms a first magnetic attraction force between the latch plate and a support chassis mating structure when the latch plate is in the first position to at least partially secure the display module to the support chassis. A corresponding magnetic device can generate a second magnetic attraction force between the corresponding magnetic device and the latch plate that overcomes the first magnetic attraction force and moves the latch plate from the first position to the second position.
