Abstract

An assembly and method for updating a display assembly of a control panel is disclosed with optimal uniform illumination. In some instances, embodiments include efficient and cost effective methods for upgrading display assemblies without having to completely overhaul the electrical, mechanical, or wiring components already existing within the control panel.

Claims (11)

1 . An updated display assembly of a control panel comprising:

an electronic display panel with a front end and a back end;

an electronic module in contact with the back end of the display;

wherein the front end of the electronic display panel is installed to be aligned with a surface plane of the control panel so that the back end of the electronic display panel is aligned to be connected to existent internal wirings of the electronic module so that internal wirings within the control panel remain invariant even when updating the display assembly to include the electronic display panel.

2 . The updated display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the electronic display panel is a liquid crystal display with a backlight unit.

3 . The updated display assembly of claim 2 , wherein the electronic module comprises one or more electronic assembly units comprising one or more electronic hardware to be retrofitted onto the electronic module.

4 . The updated display assembly of claim 2 , wherein the electronic display panel comprises a collimator in front of a backlight unit to collect light rays from the backlight unit.

5 . The updated display assembly of claim 4 , wherein the electronic display panel comprises a diffuser to provide a more uniform illumination on the display by minimizing high intensity bright spots.

6 . The updated display assembly of claim 5 , wherein the electronic display panel comprises a first focus lens positioned next to a first end of the diffuser and a second focus lens positioned next to a second end of the diffuser to further focus light rays passing through the collimator.

7 . The display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the electronic display panel achieves uniform illumination by modeling a performance of a light source of the electronic display panel to predict a light ray's path and reflectance through pixels on an image plane.

8 . The display assembly of claim 7 , wherein the modeling of the performance of the light source is performed in a two dimensional phase space environment.
