The displays are offered as single-face or double-face units. The first display is called the
primary, and if mounted back-to-back with a second display, the second display is called the
mirror. If the second display will be mounted at a distance of more than six feet (2m) from
the primary display, then two primary displays will be utilized.
A module is the building block of the Galaxy display. Each module measures 8 pixels high by
8 pixels wide. Refer to Figure 1. By placing modules side-by-side and on top of one another, a
display of any size can be designed and built. Individual modules can be easily removed
from the display, if required.
