Patent number: 9997118Abstract: A system for powering and controlling a backlit electronic display where redundancy is used to provide two independent paths from a pair of power sources to the backlight. Further, two independent paths are also used from a pair of power sources to the electronic display. If any one of the paths were to fail or begin to degrade in performance, the system contains monitoring devices which can direct another path to be used by the system. Two separate control circuits for the electronic may be used so that either one may be used to control the electronic display if one were to fail. Two separate temperature sensors and luminance sensors may also be used to increase the durability of the system.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: American Panel CorporationInventors: William Dunn, Ken Mahdi
