Vehicle display apparatus integrated with a temperature regulator

A vehicle display apparatus comprising:

• a display panel, a front side of the display configured to display information towards a front side of the vehicle display apparatus;
• an illumination source operable to supply back-light illumination to the display panel, the illumination source arranged on a rear side of the display panel opposite the front side of the display panel;
• a fluid flow inlet arranged on a rear side of the display panel;
• a processor;
• a temperature regulator operable to allow a fluid flow to enter the fluid flow inlet of the vehicle display apparatus or prevent the fluid flow from entering the fluid flow inlet of the vehicle display apparatus, wherein the temperature regulator comprises:
• an actuator having a shaft, the actuator operable to rotate the shaft;
• and
• a rotatable tab in communication with the actuator, the rotatable tab operable to rotate synchronously in response to a rotation of the shaft;
• a heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system operable to supply the fluid flow to enter the fluid flow inlet of the vehicle display apparatus;
• at least one fluid flow outlet arranged on the rear side of the display panel, the at least one fluid flow outlet releasing the fluid flow in a rearward direction of the vehicle display apparatus;
• and
• a fluid channel entirely on the rear side of the display panel between the fluid flow inlet and the at least one fluid flow outlet, the fluid channel at least partially surrounding the illumination source.
