  • Publication number: 20240276662
    Abstract: A display assembly includes a framework, an electronic display subassembly connected to the framework at an elevated position, and an open, unobstructed, pass-through area located below the electronic display subassembly and within the framework. The pass-through area may assist with sightlines through the display assembly, by way of example. Wiring may be routed from a base along or through upward extending members of the framework.

  • Publication number: 20240263818
    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring air quality of a geographic area are provided. Digital signage units include an electronic display and an air quality monitoring device located along an open loop pathway for ambient air. A monitoring subsystem receives air characteristic measurement data from the air quality monitoring devices of the digital signage units, which are installed at discrete locations within the geographic area, and subsequently generates a data summary of air characteristic measurements from the air characteristic measurement data from some or all of the digital signage units.

  • Patent number: 12052850
    Abstract: A field customizable airflow system, method, and communications box are provided. A communications box is located above an electronic display subassembly and includes one or more electronic components. The communications box includes one or more fans which cause a flow of ambient air to be accepted at an intake portion, forced through each of one or more apertures in a plate within the communications box, and be exhausted through said exhaust portion.

  • Publication number: 20240219980
    Abstract: A display assembly for preventing delamination of electronic display layers includes an electronic display subassembly at a structural framework having multiple optical layers and/or films (“the layers”). A first passageway is located between a cover forward of the electronic display subassembly and a forward one of the layers. A second passageway is located rearward of the layers. A third passageway is fluidly connected to an entrance and an exit of each of the first and second passageways. The first, second, and third passageways define, at least in part, a continuous airflow pathway. A fan unit positioned proximate to the entrance to each of the first and second passageways moves gas through the continuous airflow pathway, including into the first and second passageways in a same primary direction to generate compressive forces at the layers.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240201040
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting and alerting to probable leaks in an electronic display assembly are provided. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to an ambient environment and an internal area partitioned from an ambient environment, and one or more fans located within, or fluidly connected with, the internal area. Differential pressure readings are monitored, and when outside an acceptable parameter, a speed of the fan(s) is temporarily increased. Additional differential pressure reading(s) are taken, and where they remain outside the acceptable parameter, an electronic notification regarding the probable leak is generated and transmitted.

  • Patent number: 11971181
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and method for monitoring air quality are provided. Digital out-of-home advertising display units are located within a geographic area. The units include an electronic display for displaying advertising images located at a housing, an open loop pathway for ambient air extending between an ingestion and exhaustion area of the housing. An air quality monitoring device located along the open loop pathway includes comprising sensor(s) for measuring characteristics of encountered gasses which are electronically communicated by a network connectivity device to a monitoring station. The monitoring station generates visual representations of the received measurements, at least one of which summarizes the measurements from multiple ones of the units.

  • Patent number: 11966263
    Abstract: A display assembly includes a structural framework, a cover forward of an electronic display layer, and an illumination device rearward of the electronic display layer. A rear passageway is provided between a rear portion of the structural framework and a rear surface of the illumination device and is in fluid communication with a front passageway between a rear surface of the cover and a forward surface of the electronic display layer and an illumination device passageway between a rear surface of the electronic display layer and a front surface of the illumination device. A closed loop fan unit adjacent to an entrance to the front passageway and the illumination device passageway creates flows of circulating gas therethrough when activated.
