A light-emitting display system has an alignment mechanism to align or angle light-emitting tiles of the display. A first tile connects to a second tile by joining a first clamp portion on the first tile with a second clamp portion on the second tile. In an implementation, the alignment mechanism includes a replaceable angle adjustment insert that is inserted into at least one of the clamp portions, such as the first clamp portion. When the first and second clamp portions are joined, a surface of the second clamp portion presses against the insert and a desired angle between the first and second tile is formed. The insert can have any angle so that any desired angle can be formed between the first and second tiles.

The display system of claim 1 wherein the first adjustment plate is removably attached to the first light-emitting tile, wherein the second adjustment plate is removably attached to the second light-emitting tile. 3. The display system of claim 1 wherein the first connecting member is configured to removably connect with the second connecting member. 4. The display system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first adjustment plate and the second adjustment plate is wedge shaped. 5. The display system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the first adjustment plate and the second adjustment plate comprise surfaces that are angled with respect to each other. 6. The display system of claim 1 wherein the first connecting member is attached adjacent an edge of the first light-emitting tile, wherein the second connecting member is attached adjacent an edge of the second light-emitting tile. 7. The display system of claim 6 wherein the first adjustment plate and the second adjustment plate are configured to be disposed between the first connecting member and the second connecting member when connected. 8. The display system of claim 1 wherein a side of the first light-emitting tile is disposed adjacent to a side of the second light-emitting tile when the first connecting member connects with the second connecting member. 9. The display system of claim 1 wherein the first adjustment plate is configured to abut the second adjustment plate such that a viewing side of the display system is one of a substantially concave, planar, and convex surface. 10. The display system of claim 1 wherein the first connecting member comprises a male connecting member and the second connecting member comprises a female connecting member. 11. The display system of claim 10 wherein the first connecting member comprises a clip and the second connecting member comprises receptacle. 12. The system of claim 1 further comprising: a third light-emitting tile having a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed thereon, a third connecting member attached thereto, and a third adjustment plate attached thereto;wherein the third connecting member is configured to connect with the second connecting member such that the third light-emitting tile is disposed adjacent to the second light-emitting tile, andthe third adjustment plate is configured to abut a fourth adjustment plate of the second light-emitting tile comprising:the third light-emitting tile abuts the second light-emitting tile at a first edge, andthe first light-emitting tile abuts the second light-emitting tile at a second edge, wherein the first edge and the second edge are opposite edges of the second light-emitting tile. 13. The system of claim 12 wherein the second adjustment plate and the fourth adjustment plate are on opposite edges of the second light-emitting tile. 14. The system of claim 5 wherein the first adjustment plate is coplanar with respect to a first edge of the first light-emitting tile and the second adjustment plate is angled with respect to a second edge of the second light-emitting tile. 15. A method comprising: providing a first display tile having a plurality of light-emitting diodes on a first display side of the tile, a first angle adjustment receptacle on a rear side of the tile, the plurality of light-emitting diodes comprising at least three light-emitting diode elements of different colors;providing a first angle adjustment piece having a first surface and a first peg projecting away from the first surface;providing a second angle adjustment piece having a second surface and a second peg projecting away from the second surface;providing a second display tile having a plurality of light-emitting diodes on a second display side of the tile and a peg receptacle on a side of the tile;inserting the first angle adjustment piece into the first angle adjustment receptacle;while the first angle adjustment piece is inserted in the first display tile, inserting the first peg into the peg receptacle of the second display tile, wherein the first angle adjustment piece holds the first display side and second display side at a first angle; andreplacing the first angle adjustment piece with the second angle adjustment piece, wherein the second angle adjustment piece holds the first display side and second display side at a second angle relative to each other that is different from the first angle. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the first peg is a dowel. 17. The method of claim 15 wherein the replacing the first angle adjustment piece with the second angle adjustment piece comprises: removing the first peg from peg receptacle of the second display tile;removing the first angle adjustment piece from the first angle adjustment receptacle;inserting the second angle adjustment piece into the first angle adjustment receptacle; andwhile the second angle adjustment piece is inserted in the first display tile, inserting the second peg into the peg receptacle of the second display tile. 18. The method of claim 15 wherein the second angle is less than 180 degrees. 19. The method of claim 15 wherein the first angle adjustment piece does not include a hinge. 20. The method of claim 15 wherein a first angle adjustment piece is capable of holding the first display tile relative to the second display tile at most one fixed angle. 21. The method of claim 15 wherein the first peg of the first angle adjustment piece is threadless. 22.
