  • Publication number: 20200346481
    Abstract: A method of updating an electrophoretic display that makes use of an electrophoretic display capable of receiving and displaying a transmitted digital photograph, a marker and a digital camera capable of transmitting digital images to a destination, the display including a transparent cover that can be marked on by the marker. First, an image is displayed on the electrophoretic display, and the marker is used to mark the cover, thereby forming markings. Then a digital photograph of the display is taken with the digital camera. Finally, the photograph is transmitted to the electrophoretic display and displayed on the electrophoretic display, thereby displaying both the image and the markings.

  • Patent number: 10723167
    Abstract: A display assembly, having a base comprised of polymeric material, and having a front wall of at least one hundred square centimeters in area, and a rearward-extending base peripheral wall of at least 0.5 cm height. The front wall has raised regions and recessed regions that extend at least as far back as the peripheral wall at its furthest rearmost extent, so that when the base is placed against a flat surface the back of the recessed regions touches the flat surface. A polymeric cover is adapted to tension fit to the base, the polymeric cover including a generally transparent front wall. Translucent display media interposed between the base and the cover and a set of energy efficient lighting devices disposed in the recessed regions.
