Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting images on mirrored displays are provided. A cover layer having a surface area is positioned in front of an electronic display having a viewing area. A reflective material is located at the cover layer and is less than fully reflective where the cover layer is located above the viewing area. The mirrored display is configured to operate in a low power mode until a sensor detects a person proximate to the mirrored display and then operate in a normal power mode.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing a protective front cover subassembly for an electronic display assembly and related products are disclosed. A first component of the protective front cover subassembly is secured to a frame. A first and second part of a mixture which produces an index-matching optical adhesive when combined are applied to the first component. A second component of the protective front cover subassembly is placed at said frame spaced apart from said first component such that the mixture is interposed between the first and second components. The mixture is exposed to a light source while interposed between the first and second components.

Abstract: Assemblies for enhancing the optical quality of electronic images displayed at an electronic display layer are provided. An optical component is located adjacent to the electronic display layer within a housing for the electronic display layer and the optical component. At least one shock-absorbing subassembly is attached to a location along the housing and to said optical component.

Abstract: A method for bonding glass components and the resulting glass assemblies produced by the same. A mixture containing a catalyst and a resin is provided that when combined forms an index-matching optical adhesive. At least one of the catalyst or the resin is encapsulated. The mixture is applied to a glass component. A second glass component is placed on the mixture so that the mixture is interposed between the glass components without breaking the encapsulation. The mixture is exposed to ultraviolet light causing the capsules to release the portions contained therein and combine to form an adhesive.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein provide a LCD assembly including an LED backlight, a liquid crystal display (LCD) placed in front of the LED backlight, a glass plate positioned between LED backlight and the LCD; and an optical film positioned between the glass plate and the LCD. In some embodiments, the glass plate is bonded to the rear side of the LCD, generally around the perimeter of the LCD. Preferred embodiments place a diffusing film within a cavity that is defined between the glass plate and the LCD. Some embodiments also bond the backlight cavity walls to the glass plate, on a side opposing the LCD.

Abstract: An assembly for an electronic display is disclosed. An optical sheet is located behind the electronic display and adjacent to a backlight. A housing for said backlight, said optical sheet, and said electronic display is provided. An aperture is positioned along the perimeter of said optical sheet. A spring assembly is connected to said aperture and is configured to exert tensioning forces on said optical sheet.

Abstract: A frame for bonding a first glass component to a second glass component with a desired thickness of adhesive is disclosed. The frame has a horizontal top portion sized to overlap the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion has a distal surface which is configured to contain the adhesive when poured on the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion is thicker than the layer of adhesive to be used so that the second glass component may be placed within the frame to abut the distal surface. The frame also has a vertical side portion which extends downward from the horizontal top portion and is sized to wrap around the first perimeter.

Abstract: Systems and methods for presenting images on mirrored displays are provided. A cover layer having a surface area is positioned in front of an electronic display having a viewing area and illumination elements. A reflective material is located at the cover layer and is less than fully silvered where the cover layer is located above the viewing area. A power level supplied to said illumination elements is increased after a sensor detects a person proximate to the mirrored display.

Abstract: An apparatus for presenting an image on a mirrored display includes an electronic display having backlight and a viewing area. A cover glass has a surface area is positioned in front of and substantially parallel with the electronic display such that the surface area substantially covers the viewing area. A reflective layer located on and substantially coextensive with said cover glass is partially silvered where the reflective layer is located above the viewing area and substantially fully silvered on the remaining surface thereof.
