Abstract
An electronic display assembly includes a housing with a pass-through device which accepts a utility line. One or more electronic display subassemblies are placed within said housing and a are surrounded by a substantially sealed closed loop pathway. An open loop pathway permits ambient air to pass through said housing and thermally interact with said closed loop pathway without mixing. At least two peripheral devices are located within said housing, one of which is a charging subassembly and the other is selected from the group consisting of: a camera, a touchscreen, an additional electronic display, video communications equipment, audio communications equipment, and an emergency notification subassembly.
Claims19
An electronic display assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a frame having a front perimeter and a rear perimeter, wherein said frame is configured to receive the housing;
- a first and second gasket located along the front perimeter and the rear perimeter, respectively, of said frame;
- a pass-through device located in said housing and configured to accept one or more utility lines;
- a first and second electronic display subassemblies mounted to said frame in a back to back arrangement, wherein each of said first and second electronic display subassemblies comprises:
- a transparent layer;
- an electronic display layer;
- a hinging device configured to permit the electronic display subassembly to rotate between an opened position and a closed position;
- and
- a gap defined by the space between the transparent layer and the electronic display layer;
- a substantially sealed closed loop pathway surrounding each of said one or more electronic display subassemblies, wherein said closed loop pathway comprises:
- the gap of each respective electronic display subassembly;
- and
- a common cavity located in the space between the first and second electronic display subassemblies and the frame;
- a plate positioned within the cavity between and substantially parallel to the rear surfaces of the electronic display subassemblies, wherein said plate is configured to receive at least some of said peripheral devices;
- an open loop pathway configured to permit ambient air to pass through said housing and thermally interact with said closed loop pathway without mixing with circulating gas traveling through said closed loop pathway;
- and
- at least two peripheral devices located within said housing, wherein one of said peripheral devices comprises a charging subassembly, and at least one other of said peripheral devices is selected from the group consisting of:
- a camera, a touchscreen, an additional electronic display, video communications equipment, audio communications equipment, and an emergency notification subassembly.
