1. A method of creating a curved light emitting visual display upon a curved viewing plane, the method comprising the steps of:
a) coupling a display module to a display mounting surface on a support frame, the display module comprising a plurality of light emitting elements coupled to a substrate, and the plurality of light emitting elements being disposed on a display plane in a predetermined pattern, and the plurality of light emitting elements collectively creating a visual display on the display plane;
b) coupling a tension member to the support frame at two different locations, the tension member adapted to apply a tension force between the two different locations to affect a curvature of the display plane; and
c) coupling a releasable frame retention mechanism to the substrate, the releasable frame retention mechanism operable from the display plane side of the display module for actuation between a retaining position and a non-retaining position.
