Housing assembly for an integrated display unit

An electronic display assembly comprising:

• a housing assembly comprising structural members;
• a display unit supported by said structural members and comprising an electronic display and one or more open loop airflow pathways in the housing assembly;
• an upper portion supported by said structural members at a position above, and spaced apart from, said display unit, said upper portion comprising an upper cavity and an upper portion intake/exhaust;
• a transition area located between said upper portion and said display unit, wherein said transition area comprises one or more intakes in direct fluid communication with an ambient environment and in fluid communication with said upper cavity and said one or more open loop airflow pathways of the display unit, wherein at least one of said structural members extends through said transition area to said upper portion to support said upper portion;
• and
• one or more fans, at least one of which is mounted to said upper portion and internal to said electronic display assembly, said one or more fans configured to move ambient air between said ambient environment, said the upper cavity, said upper portion intake/exhaust, said one or more intakes located at said transition area, said transition area, and said one or more open loop airflow pathways when operated such that the ambient air in said transition area comprises a combination of the ambient air directed through said one or more open loop airflow pathways and the ambient air directed through said upper cavity;
• wherein said upper portion intake/exhaust is located above the at least one of said one or more fans.
