Abstract
An embodiment display panel includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a lower portion and an upper portion disposed over and overhanging the lower portion of the PCB. The display panel further includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at a front side of the upper portion of the PCB, where the front side of the upper portion of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the display panel. The display panel also includes a housing having a recess, where the lower portion of the PCB is at least partially disposed within the recess, where framing portions of the housing are laterally adjacent to the lower portion of the PCB, and where the upper portion of the PCB overhangs the framing portions of the housing.
Claims20
A display panel, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a lower portion and an upper portion disposed over and overhanging the lower portion of the PCB;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at a front side of the upper portion of the PCB, wherein the front side of the upper portion of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the display panel;
- and
- a housing comprising a recess, wherein the lower portion of the PCB is at least partially disposed within the recess, wherein framing portions of the housing are laterally adjacent to the lower portion of the PCB, and wherein the upper portion of the PCB overhangs the framing portions of the housing.
A modular digital display system, comprising:
- a support structure comprising a plurality of vertical beams and a plurality of horizontal beams;
- and
- a plurality of digital display panels mounted to the support structure so as to form an integrated display panel, the integrated display panel comprising a display surface, wherein the support structure is configured to provide mechanical support to the plurality of digital display panels, wherein each of the plurality of digital display panels comprises:
- a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) comprising a back portion and front portion disposed over and overhanging the back portion of the PCBA;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at an exterior-facing surface of the front portion of the PCBA, wherein the exterior-facing surface of the front portion of the PCBA forms an entirety of a front surface of the digital display panel;
- and
- a housing comprising a recess, wherein the back portion of the PCBA is disposed within the recess, wherein framing portions of the housing are laterally adjacent to the back portion of the PCBA, wherein the front portion of the PCBA overhangs the framing portions of the housing, and wherein PCBAs of immediately adjacent digital display panels are in physical contact.
A digital display panel, comprising:
- a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising a lower portion and an upper portion disposed over and overhanging the lower portion of the PCB;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at a front side of the upper portion of the PCB, wherein the front side of the upper portion of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the digital display panel;
- a housing comprising a recess, wherein the lower portion of the PCB is at least partially disposed within the recess, wherein framing portions of the housing are laterally adjacent to the lower portion of the PCB, wherein the upper portion of the PCB overhangs the framing portions of the housing, and wherein no portion of the housing extends past the upper portion of the PCB in a top-down view of the digital display panel;
- and
- a receiver circuit mounted to a backside of the lower portion of the PCB, wherein the receiver circuit is disposed within the recess of the housing.
