  • Patent number: 12035504
    Abstract: An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display located within a housing. A first airflow pathway fluidly connected to an ambient environment extends through at least a portion of the housing. A second airflow pathway, separated from the first airflow pathway, forms a closed loop within the housing. Some or all electronic components for operating the electronic display assembly are located within the second airflow pathway, such as to at least partially isolate such electronics from dust or other containments in ambient air.

  • Patent number: 12022635
    Abstract: Condensation control systems and methods for display assemblies are provided. A cover forms part of a housing for an electronic display, the housing accommodating an airflow pathway. Temperature sensors located along the airflow pathway measure temperature which is reported to a controller. The controller determines a dewpoint temperature and calculates a dewpoint spread between the dewpoint temperature and the measured temperature. Where the dewpoint spread is less than a predetermined threshold, modified operations are initiated by the controller.
