Self-contained electronic display assembly, mounting structure and methods for the same

A display assembly comprising:

• a mounting structure comprising a central airflow pathway for a first flow of ambient air;
• electronic equipment located along said central airflow pathway;
• and
• one or more side assemblies, each attached to said mounting structure and comprising a cover, a display layer located rearward of the cover, an illumination device for illuminating at least the display layer when operated, a side assembly open loop airflow pathway for a second flow of the ambient air, and a side assembly closed loop airflow pathway for a flow of circulating gas;
• wherein said central airflow pathway, said side assembly open loop airflow pathway of each of said one or more side assemblies, and said side assembly closed loop airflow pathway of each of said one or more side assemblies are fluidly separated from one another.

• electronic equipment located along said central airflow pathway;
• and
• one or more side assemblies, each attached to said mounting structure and comprising a cover, a display layer located rearward of the cover, an illumination device for illuminating at least the display layer when operated, a side assembly open loop airflow pathway for a second flow of the ambient air, and a side assembly closed loop airflow pathway for a flow of circulating gas;
• wherein said side assembly open loop airflow pathway of each of said one or more side assemblies and said side assembly closed loop airflow pathway of each of said one or more side assemblies are located entirely within the respective one of the one or more side assemblies.

A display assembly comprising:

• a mounting structure comprising a central airflow pathway for a first dedicated flow of ambient air;
• electronic equipment located along said central airflow pathway;
• and
• two or more side assemblies, each moveably attached to a respective side of said mounting structure to face in different directions, and each comprising a cover, a display layer located rearward of the cover, an illumination device for illuminating at least the display layer when operated, and a side assembly open airflow pathway for a second dedicated flow of the ambient air;
• wherein said electronic equipment, when operated, provides functionality other than operation of said one or more side assemblies;
• wherein said central airflow pathway and said side assembly open airflow pathway of each of said one or more side assemblies are fluidly separated from one another.
