Abstract

A multi-layer display (MLD) system may include a plurality of display screens including at least first and second display screens arranged in a substantially parallel and overlapping manner, such that an air gap exists between the first display screen and the second display screen. An opening in the enclosure may exist such that air can flow through the opening between the air gap and outside of the enclosure, and a membrane covering the opening, the membrane being porous to air and non-porous to small particulates and water.

Claims (29)

1. A multi-layer display system for displaying three-dimensional images, comprising:

at least first and second display screens arranged in an enclosure in a substantially parallel and overlapping manner such that an air gap exists between the first display screen and the second display screen;

an opening in the enclosure such that air can flow through the opening between the air gap and outside of the enclosure; and

a membrane covering the opening, the membrane being porous to air and non-porous to small particulates and water;

wherein the first and second display screens are provided with at least one spacer and a seal therebetween, so that the air gap exists in an area between the first and second display screens and is surrounded by the at least one spacer and seal.

2. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein, except for the opening, the area of the air gap is sealed by the spacer and the seal.

3. The multi-layer display system according to claim 2 , wherein the spacer and seal are applied substantially around edges of at least one of the first and second display screens.

4. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one spacer comprises a plurality of spacers of a same height such that an even separation exists throughout between the first and second display screens.

5. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is circular.

6. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed to enable moisture to flow from the air gap to outside the air gap but prevent water from entering the air gap from the outside.

7. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed to maintain a maximum pressure differential sufficient to prevent mura appearing.

8. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed to maintain a maximum pressure differential sufficient to prevent optical stress and physical stress.

9. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed to enable transfer of heat from the air gap to outside the air gap.

10. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed of a material including plastic.

11. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the membrane is constructed from a material including Gore-Tex™.

12. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the opening is on the rear side of the enclosure.

13. The multi-layer display system according to claim 1 , wherein the first display screen and the second display screen are sealed to the enclosure with one or more spacers and sealant.

14. A method of forming a multi-layered display, the method comprising:

arranging at least first and second display screens in an enclosure in a substantially parallel and overlapping manner such that an air gap exists between the first display screen and the second display screen;

making an opening in the enclosure such that air can flow through the opening between the air gap and outside of the enclosure; and

covering the opening with a membrane, the membrane being porous to air and non-porous to particulates and water.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising pressing the first and second display screens together with a spacer and sealing such that the air gap exists in an area between the first and second display screens and surrounded by the spacer and sealing.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein, except for the opening, the area of the air gap is sealed by the spacer and the sealing.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the spacer and sealing are applied substantially around edges of at least one of the first and second display screens.

18. A multi-layer display system for displaying three-dimensional images, comprising:

at least first and second displays arranged in a substantially parallel and overlapping manner such that an air gap exists between the first display and the second display;

an opening provided such that air can flow through the opening between the air gap and an external area;

a membrane covering the opening, the membrane being porous to air and non-porous to small particulates and water; and

wherein the first and second displays are provided with at least one spacer and a seal therebetween, so that the air gap exists in an area between the first and second displays and is surrounded by the seal.
