Abstract: Display assemblies for inhibiting delamination of an optical stack are disclosed. A structural framework defines, at least in part, an enclosure for the optical stack, which includes an electronic display layer. One or more airflow passageways are located within the enclosure and define a continuous, interconnected airflow pathway extending along one or more surfaces of the optical stack. One or more fan units are positioned along the continuous, interconnected airflow pathway, and when activated, move gas through the continuous, interconnected airflow pathway and generate compressive forces at the optical stack, thereby reducing the likelihood of delamination.

A rear wall extends along and from a rear edge of the upper portion to and along an underlying surface of the display assembly when the fan unit is installed. The rear edge forms a wave shape defining peaks in the upper portion for the openings, and a valley between adjacent peaks. The rear wall forms the wave shape and thereby defines peaks, each accommodating one of the fans and a valley between adjacent peaks.
