I noticed an article in the New York Times this Sunday (9-2-90) about
the proposed fiber optic highway.  In the piece, a picture of a very
large (wall sized) television image was shown.  The co-inventor, Lanny
Smoot of Bellcore was shown with it in a video conference.  Can
some one tell me how such a big picture is made?  It looks like
a bunch of flat screen tv "tubes."

In a related question, if you watch Club MTV on cable, you'll notice
that they have a bunch of small monitors ganged together to build a very large
television picture where all 9 (or 16) monitors display only a part of the
camera's image.  How do they do that?
