Abstract: A system and method for preventing image retention in an electronic display. A time threshold (TT) and a pixel threshold (PT) may be defined. The system preferably performs a checksum calculation of all pixel data within an active image area of the electronic display for an interval of time until reaching TT. The system may then compare the checksum calculation for each interval of time to determine if the change in pixel data is less than PT. Preferably, the system will perform an image retention prevention method for the active image area if the change in pixel data is less than PT. Generally, this is performed by transmitting alternate pixel data to the electronic display.

Abstract: A system and method for remotely monitoring and transmitting optical data for an electronic display to a user. A color light sensor is placed in front of the viewable area of an electronic display and is used to measure various optical properties to determine if the display is functioning properly. The user may be notified when a display is malfunctioning. The display may store optical data locally for later retrieval by the user. The user may access the optical data through a network connection with the display. One or more displays may be placed adjacent to one another and their optical properties may be measured and balanced so that the displays match one another or can be used as a harmonious array. A watermark can be used to confirm that specific video segments were actually displayed by the electronic display.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide an information system adapted to focus a plurality of audio messages to a plurality of different locations. As a consumer passes a display, their attention is attracted based on the series of messages. Further, a consumer can obtain more and different information as they change their position. Exemplary embodiments may also display a different image to the consumer depending on the position of the consumer relative to the display. Further embodiments may utilize touch-screen technology to allow a user to select an icon from the screen and obtain further information either through additional messages, video, or both.

Abstract: An electronic display assembly where the components can be removed and serviced or replaced without having to remove the display from its position. A backplane may be in electrical communication with the image producing assembly and may contain a plurality of blind mate connectors. Various electronic assemblies may be connected to the blind mate connectors. An access panel may provide access to the electronic assemblies so that they can be removed from the housing. N+1 power supplies may be used so that if one fails the unit would continue to operate until the failed power supply could be replaced. The electronic assemblies may be removed from the left side, right side, top, or bottom surfaces of the display housing. Any flat panel electronic display may be used.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An LED circuit using a combination of series and parallel arrangements for optimum current sharing between LEDs. The current paths allow an LED to fail without resulting in other LEDs failure or noticeable luminance variance across the circuit. Some embodiments use metallic PCB technology which permits optimum thermal regulation of heat generated by the LEDs. Exemplary embodiments can be used with a single-layer PCB where only one layer of conducting material must be placed on the substrate. This results in a thinner, lighter, and cheaper assembly. The rear surface of the PCB may contain heat sinks or fins and may have air (or other gaseous matter) moved across the surface and/or heat sinks to facilitate cooling of the assembly. An LCD assembly using the same is also disclosed.
