摘要： A method for bonding glass components using an encapsulated photo-initiated optical adhesive, and the resulting glass assemblies produced by the same. A mixture containing a catalyst and a resin is provided where at least one of either the catalyst or the resin is encapsulated. The mixture is applied to a glass component. The encapsulated catalyst may then be exposed to ultraviolet light causing the capsules to release the portions contained therein and combine to form an adhesive. A second glass component is then placed on the adhesive so that the adhesive is interposed between the glass components and the adhesive is permitted to cure. Alternatively, the mixture may be exposed to UV light after the second glass component is placed. An exemplary method uses a frame with the first glass component to create a uniform thickness of adhesive and provide a low level of optical defects.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments include a backlight assembly for an electronic display wherein said backlight assembly is comprised of a plurality of tiles. Each tile has a plurality of lights attached to it, such that when a single light or group of lights fail, the tile may be replaced without having to replace the entire backlight assembly. The lights in the assembly may be any one of the following: light emitting diodes (LED), organic light emitting diodes (OLED), field emitting display (FED), light emitting polymer (LEP), and organic electro-luminescence (OEL). Embodiments also allow tiles to be removed from the rear of the display and dissipate heat from the lights to the rear of the backlight assembly.

摘要： A system and method for displaying images or video on an electronic display. A unique identifier may be embedded within the frames of images or video and detected by a light sensor. The data from the light sensor is analyzed to determine if the proper image or video was actually shown at the display. Some embodiments analyze the data from the light sensor in real time and may stop displaying the image or video if the data is not in the format of a unique identifier. Using this embodiment, the system can prevent unintended images or video from being shown on the display.

摘要： A cooling system for an electronic display. Transparent cooling chambers are used to extract heat from the front display surface of an electronic display. A refrigerated air source is in gaseous communication with the cooling chamber. Additional fans may be used to cool other components of the electronic display. Multiple displays may be used where each display and the refrigerated air source is housed within the housing. The housing contains air inlet and air exhaust ports. An air curtain device may be used with some embodiments. An open-loop, closed-loop, or both types of designs may be used with the cooling chambers. Temperature sensors may allow the refrigerated air source(s) to be selectively engaged depending on the temperature of the air within the cooling chamber or the temperature of the front display surface. Ambient temperature sensors may also direct the switch between open and closed loops.

摘要： An electronic display which can be serviced without having to remove the display from its mounted position. A front housing and a rear housing are hingedly attached so that the front housing can rotate and allow access to the interior of the display. An axial force mechanism can be used to aid in rotating the front housing to an open position. A locking collar, support member, or axial locking member may be used to ensure that the front housing remains open. A removable front glass assembly or removable glass panel may be used with an exemplary embodiment. The front glass assembly or glass panel can be easily replaced if it becomes damaged by minimally-trained personnel. Gutters may be used between the front and rear housing as well as the front housing and front glass assembly to ensure an adequate seal against contaminates.

摘要： A flat panel liquid crystal display has a front plate and a rear plate with a layer of liquid crystal material maintained in a cavity between them. A thin film transistor array layer is disposed in the cavity, as is an integral heater with a grid of intersecting sets of horizontal and vertical conductors. The heating capacity of the heater is predeterminably set by selectively interrupting continuity of at least some of the intersecting conductors. In some embodiments, the discontinuities occur in only one set of the intersecting conductors.

摘要： A cooling system and a method for cooling an electronic display. A preferred embodiment utilizes a closed loop cooling system in a constricted convection cooling setup to remove heat from the backlight of a display assembly. Cooling air can be pulled or pushed through a gap between the display (or backlight) and a rear cooling chamber. The resulting warm air can then be exhausted out of the display housing. The cooling air may be air conditioned or may be exposed to a thermoelectric device. A thermostat may be used so that cooling fans are only energized when the temperature reaches a predetermined point.

摘要： A light emitting diode (LED) circuit having a plurality of LEDs electrically connected in series with a zener diode electrically connected to each LED in parallel. If an LED were to fail, the current can be routed around the failed LED, through the zener diode, and continue through the rest of the LEDs in the series connection. Thus, a failure in one LED does not cause the entire series string to lose their illumination. Some embodiments may place several LED strings in parallel with one another. Exemplary embodiments may mount the LCDs on a metal core printed circuit board (PCB). Further embodiments may place a thin metallic sheet or metallic surface on the rear surface of the PCB and in thermal communication with the PCB and/or LEDs.

摘要： A light emitting diode (LED), method for optimizing an LED having characteristics which are tailored for a liquid crystal color filter set, and a liquid crystal display (LCD) using the LED are disclosed. The spectral response of the LED is optimized to provide the preferred optical properties when its light is transmitted through the color filter set and liquid crystal stack. Embodiments provide a diode chip which intrinsically emits light with wavelengths primarily within the blue visible spectrum (‘blue chip’). Surrounding the chip would be a first layer of phosphor that emits light with wavelengths primarily within the yellow-green region of the visible spectrum via phosphorescence with the blue light which is emitted from the diode chip (‘yellow-green phosphor’). There would also preferably be a second layer of phosphor that emits light with wavelengths primarily within the red region of the visible spectrum via phosphorescence with the blue light which is emitted from the diode chip (‘red phosphor’).
