A Wallpaper display is a pre-constructed large scale display used for video installations. The display comes in 0.5cm thick by 1m2 panels, allowing installation of virtually any size of display, The display contains a self-configuring display system which allows the edges to auto-connect to produce one large display, and enable simple connection to existing computing and entertainment systems. The display itself has a 85 µm pixel pitch, allowing near perfect image reproduction.

At the next technology level wallpaper displays are often call wallscreens and sometimes include a touch-sensitive layer for dynamic control and are used for live video communications when combined with video cameras and audio speakers and microphones. By TL-14 they are sometimes replaced by holographic displays when more volume is available for the display.

The panels are available in smaller sizes, down to about 2cm x 2cm.
