摘要:
A method for providing a bonded glass component for use in an LCD display. A frame is sealed to a glass component. A barrier coat is then applied to the sealant. An adhesive is poured over the entirety of the glass component and the frame. Starting at one edge of the glass component a second glass component is lowered down until an adhesive wave progresses across the glass component, until the second glass component in position.
摘要:

Also disclosed is a frame for bonding two glass components. Also disclosed is a protective glass assembly for a LCD having a top surface and perimeter. The protective glass assembly having a frame which overlaps the top surface and perimeter of the LCD, a glass component placed atop the frame, and a layer of optical adhesive interposed between the LCD and the glass component.
摘要:
An electronic display having one or more thermal plates in thermal communication with an image assembly and a thermally-conductive housing (and optional door frame). In some embodiments, the thermal plate is in thermal communication with the door frame which is in thermal communication with the housing. A channel may be defined between a transparent plate assembly and the image assembly where a fan may force cooling air through the channel. The cooling air may also pass through apertures in the thermal plate(s). An exemplary image assembly may provide an LED edge-lit LCD or an OLED display. In some embodiments, two displays may be provided in a back-to-back orientation within a single housing. The display may dissipate heat without the need to ingest ambient air.
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:
Preferred embodiments relates to a cooling system and a method for cooling an electronic display. Embodiments include a transparent liquid cooling chamber, a reservoir tank, and a pump. The components in the system are preferably housed within the electronic display housing. The cooling chamber defines a fluid compartment that is anterior to and coextensive with the electronic display surface. Circulating coolant removes heat directly from the electronic display surface by advection. In order to view the display, the coolant fluid is transparent or at least semi-transparent. The image quality of an exemplary embodiment remains essentially unchanged, even though coolant is flowing over the visible face of the electronic display surface.

A preferred embodiment relates to a cooling system and a method for cooling an electronic display and its electronic components. An exemplary embodiment includes a transparent gas cooling chamber. The electronic components which operate the system are preferably housed both within the electronic display housing and within the cooling chamber. The cooling system defines a gas compartment that is anterior and posterior to the electronic display surface. Fans may be used to propel the isolated gas through the cooling system. The circulating gas removes heat directly from the electronic display surface as well as the electronic components which operate the display. The isolated gas is transparent or at least semi-transparent. The image quality of an exemplary embodiment remains essentially unchanged, even though the gas is flowing through a narrow channel over the visible face of the electronic display surface.

Embodiments provide a touch screen display in proximity to a fuel pump. The touch screen display presents a graphical user interface (GUI) containing a plurality of in-store products available for purchase. Exemplary embodiments may contain a card reading device whereby in-store items selected for purchase may be purchased at the fuel pump. A second display may be placed within the convenience store or restaurant so that purchased items may be prepared for pickup by the user. Other embodiments may provide an ordering system in proximity to the pump where the in-store goods are purchased within the store. Exemplary embodiments would be capable of producing high-definition video on the touch screen display. Some embodiments also include audio systems and proximity sensors. Wired or wireless electrical connectivity may be used to send the video and/or GUI data to the touch screen display.
摘要:
A system and method for speaker configuration in an audio and video housing, wherein the audio and video housing may be supported by stands located on top of a gas pump. The audio and video housing may have an audio and video source, at least one video display, and circuitry to drive the pair of speakers. The speakers may have a covering to provide protection from moisture and foreign particles. The speakers may be positioned to output sound downward directed towards the top of a gas pump. The sound may then be redirected to a first and second listening area.
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.

Exemplary embodiments connect lights in both series and parallel. The lights can be LEDs, organic light emitting diodes (OLED), field emitting display (FED), light emitting polymer (LEP), or organic electro-luminescence (OEL). Exemplary embodiments also mount the lights on a printed circuit board (PCB) which has low thermal resistivity between the surface containing the lights and the opposite surface. The opposite surface may be metallic, and air may be forced over this surface in order to cool the assembly.
