Evan D. Brooks has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11340668
    Abstract: A connection scheme for LED display array is disclosed. The array includes a plurality of LED modules having LEDs on the front surface and a rear surface having connection points optionally surrounded by a compressible weather seal. The connection points of the LED module electrically connect to a power bus for receiving both power and data. Alternatively, power and data signals may be provided separately through separate means. When the LED modules are attached to a support structure for the display array, the connection points electrically connect with the bus or buses. Mechanical locking features may be used to create a compressing force to facilitate the electrical connection or interface between the LED module connection points and the bus or buses.

  • Patent number: 10092118
    Abstract: An image display including an image substrate and a support structure. The image substrate has an image printed on a first surface. The support structure can include a front sheet and a plurality of side strips extending from the front sheet. The image substrate can be adhered to an external surface of the front sheet so that the front sheet forms a rigid backing for the image substrate. A variety of image substrates are provided.

  • Patent number: 9174483
    Abstract: An image display including an image substrate and a support structure. The image substrate has an image printed on a first surface. The support structure can include a front sheet, a back sheet and a plurality of side strips secured between the front sheet and the back sheet for forming a closed support structure. An internal support can be provided in an internal cavity of the support structure for enhancing the rigidity of the support structure. The image substrate can be adhered to an external surface of the front sheet so that the front sheet forms a rigid backing for the image substrate. A variety of image substrates are provided.
