  • Patent number: 11181761
    Abstract: A display device has alignment features that compensate for variability in open cells sourced from different vendors. A backlight is arranged behind or beneath an open cell to illuminate picture elements. The open cell and the backlight rest or reside within a cover shield. Because the open cell may have supplier variability, the cover shield has receptacles such as holes or apertures that align with features protruding from a module fixture. The modular fixture thus allows the open cell and the backlight to be arranged, aligned, and/or assembled to the covert shield, despite the supplier variability in the open cell.

  • Patent number: 11096317
    Abstract: Systems and method for thermally managing display assemblies are provided. A closed loop pathway for circulating gas includes a channel located behind an electronic display located at a housing. A fan unit is positioned within the rear channel. A storage area for an equipment storage device is located within or adjacent to the channel and is partitioned by a barrier. A loopback channel accepts a flow of the circulating gas and forms a pathway about the equipment storage device. The fan unit generates an area of relatively high pressure circulating gas compared to circulating gas in the storage area, which causes a portion of the circulating gas to travel through the loopback channel to cool equipment stored at the equipment storage device.
