  • Publication number: 20240027816
    Abstract: An interactive touch-screen display device includes a liquid crystal layer; a conductive layer, the conductive layer being translucent and electronically grounded; a polarizer; and a glass layer, wherein the conductive layer contacts the glass layer and contacts the polarizer. Additionally, a method of assembling an interactive touch-screen display device includes creating an assembly by layering a liquid crystal layer and a polarizer. The method also includes bringing a conductive material proximate to the polarizer; creating a static charge on the conductive material to attract dust particles to the conductive material; and removing the conductive material, thereby carrying away dust particles.

  • Publication number: 20220029366
    Abstract: A pluggable module is configured for providing a second connector type to a display device that lacks the second connector type via an available pluggable computing module slot. The pluggable module comprises: (1) a housing dimensioned to correspond to pluggable computing module slot; (2) a first connector of a first connector type configured to engage with a corresponding connector disposed in the computing module plug-in slot; and (3) a second connector of the second connector type such that the second connector is configured to enable a user to plug a cable that corresponds to the second connector type into the second connector to facilitate a direct connection between the pluggable module and a connected computing device via the cable.
