Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In addition, the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined in a range in which the processing contents do not contradict each other. Also, in the following embodiments, the same reference sign is assigned to the same parts and an overlapped description thereof is omitted.
Although expressions such as “constant”, “orthogonal”, “vertical”, or “parallel” may be used in the embodiments described below, these expressions do not need to be strictly “constant”, “orthogonal”, “vertical”, or “parallel”. That is, it is assumed that each of the expressions described above allows deviation in manufacturing accuracy, installation accuracy, and the like, for example.
Conventionally, a large-screen display device (hereinafter, also referred to as a video wall) that forms one display screen by an arrangement of a plurality of display units in a matrix has been known.
Such a video wall is used, for example, for an advertisement display in a town, an exhibition, and information provision to spectators in a sports facility or the like. In addition, the video wall is configured by, for example, an arrangement and assembly of a plurality of display units in a frame.
On the other hand, in the above-described related art, while a video wall having a flat screen can be assembled relatively easily, it is very difficult to accurately assemble a screen having a desired curvature.
Thus, it is expected to realize a technology capable of overcoming the above-described problems and easily forming a large screen having a desired curvature in a video wall.

The video wall 1 according to the embodiment includes a plurality of display units 2-1 to 2-n. Details of the video wall 1 will be described later.
The video server 11 stores various kinds of video data. Note that the video data stored in the video server 11 may be a moving image or a still image.
The display control device 12 divides the video data acquired from the video server 11 and performs distribution thereof to the plurality of display units 2-1 to 2-n provided on the video wall 1. Pieces of divided video based on the divided video data are respectively displayed on the plurality of display units 2-1 to 2-n.
Then, the whole video based on the video data is formed on the video wall 1 by a set of the pieces of divided video respectively displayed on the plurality of display units 2-1 to 2-n.
