I have always believed that information is important so people can hopefully understand the what goes on behind the scenes in the development of certain aspects of a product. The grid in LED DMD displays is one that when it is understood, it will make sense as to why it exists and at the current state of technology, why it will continue to exist, until the technology is available to remove it. I have attached a file to this posting, it is a PDF. It helps illustrate why the grid exists.

Thanks buddy! I was practically stalking the mail man!! 
NICE!!!
hey Fattrain, nice mods, I see you have most all of them installed. But why did you leave the Flynn scoop sign intact instead of swapping it out for the new recognizer/space paranoids one that comes with the Flynn mod? Otherwise, you end up with double Flynn signs (which is what you have now). Otherwise, brilliant effort!
Quoted from DrainO:Is this the same type of display that's in my ACDC? I see grid lines, but it does not bother me like I thought it would from pics
Yes, same block layout (8x8), different manufacturer.

These look great and reasonably priced, I have the stern RED LED DMD in all my games and nobody notices the grid lines, except those anally challenged, No comparison to the old gas displays once they are installed, much brighter, Crisp, they really pop.
Check their distributors. X-Pin carries very little stock directly. I recommend K's Arcade. Professional packing and fast shipping.
It does not have to exist. It is only there if you use a cheaper block of LED or the way you buy parts and create it.
example:
Vishay LEE-128G032-1
does not have the grid lines. But the vishay will cost more.
