1. A standalone display system comprising:
a portable board;
an arrangement of a plurality of light-emitting elements on said portable board;
a plurality of light-emitting element drivers on said portable board, one of the plurality of light-emitting element drivers being assigned for each of said plurality of light-emitting elements;
a control system on said portable board for controlling said light-emitting element drivers, wherein said control system comprises a non-volatile data storage for storing data to be displayed as a video and/or images, a board communication system connectable to said plurality of light-emitting element drivers, and a controller, adapted for controlling said board communication system and said data storage; and
a cable-free power supply on said portable board for supplying power to both said plurality of light-emitting element drivers and said control system;
wherein the display system is a standalone display system configured to operate fully autonomously without requiring connections outside the display system while displaying the video and/or images due to the data to be displayed being directly stored in advance into the non-volatile data storage of the display system and/or the display system is configured to operate fully independently in terms of operational logic;
wherein said board communication system comprises a board interface that passes the data to be displayed to said light-emitting element drivers and a buffer connected thereto, said buffer used to store the data to be displayed, as it moves from said controller to said board interface;
wherein said control system further comprises a wireless communications interface that provides wireless communications and wherein said controller is further adapted for controlling said communications interface; and
wherein said standalone display system is adapted to wirelessly transmit synchronization signals to at least one other of a multi-tile configuration comprising a plurality of such standalone displays, each of the plurality of such standalone displays being further adapted to wirelessly receive such synchronization signals, wherein said standalone display system is adapted for operating as master tile amongst the other of said plurality of such display systems being determined as slave tiles.
