Electronic display assembly and double-sided display
An electronic display assembly and a double-sided display are provided. The electronic display assembly comprises a case with an opening, a display panel, an air-interchange device and a flow generator. The air-interchange device is arranged in the opening of the case. The flow generator generates airflow through a pathway within the case. The direction of a first portion of the pathway near the air-interchange device is not parallel to a normal of the opening.
1. An electronic display assembly comprising:
a case with an opening;
a display panel;
an air-interchange device arranged in the opening of the case; and
a first flow generator generating an internal airflow through a pathway within the case,
wherein a direction of the internal airflow flowing adjacent to the air-interchange device on a first portion of the pathway is not parallel to a normal of the opening, and
wherein the air-interchange device is dynamically configurable to provide an air-tight state or an open state to the pathway depending on at least one of a temperature difference and a pressure difference between an inside and outside of the pathway.
2. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the air-interchange device comprises a screen filter, a one-way breathable valve, a two-way breathable valve, or two valves with different directions.
3. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein when the first flow generator is operated, ambient air enters the case of the electronic display assembly via the air-interchange device and air inside of the case exits the electronic display assembly via the air-interchange device.
4. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first flow generator is triggered when a temperature inside of the electronic display assembly exceeds a threshold.
5. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein ventilation rate of the air-interchange device is proportional to the velocity of the internal airflow generated by the first flow generator.
6. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein ventilation rate of the air-interchange device is proportional to the size of an opening of the air-interchange device.
7. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a backlight module.
8. The electronic display assembly of claim 7 , further comprising a transparent plate, and wherein a second portion—of the pathway is between the transparent plate and the display panel, and a third portion of the pathway is adjacent to the backlight module opposite to the display panel.
9. The electronic display assembly of claim 8 , wherein a direction of a fourth portion of the pathway is parallel to the direction of the first portion of the pathway, and a fifth portion of the pathway is between the backlight module and the display panel.
10. The electronic display assembly of claim 9 , further comprising an optical film disposed between the display panel and the backlight module.
11. The electronic display assembly of claim 10 , wherein the fifth portion of the pathway is arranged between the display panel and the optical film.
12. The electronic display assembly of claim 11 , wherein a sixth portion—of the pathway is arranged between the optical film and the backlight module.
13. The electronic display assembly of claim 7 , further comprising:
a heat exchanger attached to the backlight module and having a first channel, wherein ambient air flows through the first channel.
14. The electronic display assembly of claim 13 , wherein the heat exchanger further comprises a second channel adjacent to the backlight module.
15. The electronic display assembly of claim 13 , further comprising a second flow generator that generates ambient airflow through the first channel.
16. The electronic display assembly of claim 1 , wherein the normal of the opening is not parallel to a normal of the display panel.
17. An electronic display assembly comprising:
a case;
a transparent plate;
a display module;
an air-interchange device sealed within the case for ventilating the electronic display assembly with airflow with more than one direction;
an external flow generator, introducing an ambient airflow in the external heat dissipation channel; and
an internal flow generator, disposed within the case,
wherein the flow generator generates an internal airflow between the transparent plate and the display module and passing adjacent to the air-interchange device, and wherein
the air-interchange device is dynamically configurable to provide an air-tight state or an open state to a pathway of the internal airflow depending on at least one of a temperature difference and a pressure difference between an inside and outside of the pathway.
18. The electronic display assembly of claim 17 , wherein the air-interchange device comprises a screen filter, a one-way breathable valve, a two-way breathable valve, or two valves with different directions.
19. The electronic display assembly of claim 17 , wherein when the flow generator is operated, ambient air enters the case of the electronic display assembly via the air-interchange device and air inside of the case exits the electronic display assembly via the air-interchange device.
20. A double-sided display comprising:
a first electronic display assembly according to any one of claims 1 - 19 ;
a second electronic display assembly according to any one of claims 1 - 19 ; and
a dual-sided housing with an opening, for accommodating a portion of the first electronic display assembly and a portion of the second electronic display assembly.
