Abstract
An embodiment display panel includes a housing comprising a recess and framing portions, a printed circuit board (PCB), a sealing material, and a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs). The PCB is attached to and overhangs the framing portions of the housing. The PCB includes a front side and an opposite back side. The recess overlies the opposite back side of the PCB. The sealing material is disposed between the opposite back side of the PCB and the framing portions of the housing. The plurality of LEDs is disposed at the front side of the PCB. The front side of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the display panel.
Claims20
A display panel, comprising:
- a housing comprising a recess and framing portions, the framing portions comprising exterior sidewalls;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) attached to and overhanging the exterior sidewalls of the framing portions of the housing, the PCB comprising a front side and an opposite back side facing the recess, wherein the recess overlies the opposite back side of the PCB;
- a sealing material disposed between the opposite back side of the PCB and the framing portions of the housing, wherein the exterior sidewalls are attached to the opposite back side of the PCB using the sealing material;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at the front side of the PCB as an array of pixels of the display panel, wherein the front side of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the display panel.
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 housing comprising a recess and framing portions;
- a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) attached to and overhanging the framing portions of the housing, the PCBA comprising an exterior-facing front surface and an opposite back surface facing the recess, wherein the recess overlies the opposite back surface of the PCBA, and wherein PCBAs of immediately adjacent digital display panels are in physical contact;
- a sealing material disposed between the opposite back surface of the PCBA and the framing portions of the housing;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at the exterior-facing front surface of the PCBA as an array of pixels of the digital display panel, the plurality of LEDs and the exterior-facing front surface of the PCBA being part of the display surface of the modular digital display system, wherein the exterior-facing front surface of the PCBA forms an entirety of a front surface of the digital display panel.
A digital display panel, comprising:
- a housing comprising a recess and framing portions;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) attached to and overhanging the framing portions of the housing, the PCB comprising a front side and an opposite back side facing the recess, wherein the recess overlies the opposite back side of the PCB;
- a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) disposed at the front side of the PCB as an array of pixels of the digital display panel, wherein the front side of the PCB forms an entirety of a front surface of the digital display panel;
- a receiver circuit mounted to the opposite back side of the PCB, wherein the receiver circuit is disposed within the recess of the housing;
- and
- a power supply circuit mounted to the opposite back side of the PCB, wherein the power supply circuit is disposed within the recess of the housing.
