  • Patent number: 12096607
    Abstract: A display assembly with cooling pathways includes a housing for an electronic display and a closed, continuous airflow pathway. Partition(s) located within the housing partially separate an equipment storage area for electronic equipment from the continuous airflow pathway. The partition(s) define, at least in part, a sub-pathway within, but separated from, the closed, continuous airflow pathway. Fan(s), when activated, cause a portion of a flow of circulating gas traveling through the closed, continuous airflow pathway to leave the same and instead travel through the sub-pathway pathway while a remainder of the flow continues through the closed, continuous airflow pathway, before rejoining the closed, continuous airflow pathway.
