Patent number: 6364507Abstract: A waterproof LED display has a housing. A circuit board with a plurality of LED groups is mounted within the housing. A transparent sheet which has a smooth inner surface opposite to the circuit board and a coarse outer surface to prevent reflection of the sunshine, is provided outside the circuit board. A panel with a plurality of apertures to respectively correspond to the groups of LEDs is mounted outside the transparent sheet. Waterproof silica gel is spread over joints between the panel and the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2000Date of Patent: April 2, 2002Assignee: Formosa Industrial Computing Inc.Inventor: Chung-Chin Yang

Patent number: 6329593Abstract: A waterproof LED display has a housing and a circuit board with a plurality of LEDs provided in the housing. A back seat is formed at a rear portion and a back cover is mounted on the back seat. The back seat forms a first rim defining an opening and has a channel defined around the opening. A gasket is provided in the channel. The back seat and the back cover respectively have complementary teeth to engage with each other to form a zigzag path between them. The back cover further has a plurality of vertical slots defined in a bottom portion thereof and a plurality of flexible conduits respectively received in the vertical slots and extended out from the slots. Wires of the circuit board are extended out along the flexible conduits.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2000Date of Patent: December 11, 2001Assignee: Formosa Industrial Computing Inc.Inventor: Chung-Chin Yang

Patent number: 5722767Abstract: An LED display panel structure comprises a PC board, a front plate having a plurality of through-holes defined thereon, a plurality of washers, each of which is provided on a back surface of the front plate in correspondence with each of the through-holes, a plurality of LEDs, each of which is inserted through a central aperture of each of the washers being smaller than a diameter of the LED to be clamped therein, and a plurality of holders, each of which has a first recess and a second recess, each of the holders receives and holds each of the LEDs in its first recess and is attached on the PC board by water resistant adhesive filled in the second recess. A pair of through-bores communicating the first recess with the second recess are defined therebetween to allow a pair of leads of each of the LEDs to extend therethrough and connect to the PC board. Such a structure can prevent moisture from seeping in to damage the LEDs.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1996Date of Patent: March 3, 1998Assignee: Formosa Industrial Computing Inc.Inventor: Sharming Lin
