       12 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 11  wherein the plurality of collapsible walls are inflatable and deflatable to move between the storage position and the deployed position. 
   
   
       13 . A collapsible structure for use with a panel having a panel contact face and an opposing panel exposed face, the collapsible structure comprising:
 a collapsible wall defining an internal wall face and an opposing external wall face, at least one of the internal wall face and external wall face being detachably engageable with the panel to dispose the panel contact face in a direction facing at least one of the internal wall face and the external wall face.   
   
   
       14 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 13  wherein the collapsible wall includes a wall connector being engageable with the panel. 
   
   
       15 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 13  wherein the collapsible wall includes at least one spring element moveable between a collapsed position and an erect position, the at least one spring element being biased toward the erect position. 
   
   
       16 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 13  wherein the collapsible wall further defines an upper wall face and a lower wall face, a wall height being defined as the distance between the upper wall face and the lower wall face, the collapsible wall being moveable between a storage position and a deployed position, wherein the wall height increases as the collapsible wall moves from the storage position towards the deployed position. 
   
   
       17 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 16  wherein the wall is inflatable and deflatable to move between the collapsed and deployed positions. 
   
   
       18 . The collapsible structure as recited in  claim 13  wherein the collapsible wall includes a wall cutout extending from the internal wall face to the external wall face. 
   
   
       19 . A panel for use with a collapsible structure including a plurality of collapsible walls, each collapsible wall having an internal wall face and an opposing external wall face, the panel comprising:
 a panel contact face and an opposing exposed face, the panel being detachably engageable to a respective one of the collapsible walls to dispose the panel contact face in a direction facing the respective one of the collapsible walls.   
   
   
       20 . The panel as recited in  claim 19  wherein the panel includes a digital display capable of displaying digital content.
