Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide a durable anti-reflective display panel for an electronic display. The panel may be used with any flat panel display including but not limited to LCD, plasma, and organic LED displays. Embodiments may contain anti-reflective glass containing pyrolytic coatings and may be bonded together using an index-matched optical adhesive. Exemplary embodiments can resist impact from objects at high speeds and protect the electronic display from damage. Embodiments also resist shattering to protect any bystanders.
Claims21
A durable display panel for an electronic display comprising:
- a first glass panel with an anti-reflective surface;
- a second glass panel with an anti-reflective surface, said second panel is substantially parallel to and substantially aligned with said first glass panel;
- a layer of optical adhesive disposed between the two glass panels;
- and
- a sealing perimeter between the two panels and running around the edges of the panels, sealing the optical adhesive between the two glass panels.
-16. (canceled)
A liquid crystal display (LCD) with an intended observer comprising:
- an LCD stack;
- a display panel positioned between said LCD stack and an intended observer, said display panel comprising:
- a first glass panel with an anti-reflective pyrolytic surface and a surface opposite said pyrolytic surface;
- a second glass panel with an anti-reflective pyrolytic surface and a surface opposite said pyrolytic surface, said second panel is substantially parallel to and substantially aligned with said first glass panel with the surfaces opposite the pyrolytic surface being adjacent;
- a layer of UV-curable optical adhesive disposed between the two glass panels;
- a sealing perimeter comprised of VHB tape between the two panels and running around the edges of the panels, sealing the optical adhesive between the two glass panels;
- a gap along said sealing perimeter adapted to allow excess optical adhesive to drain;
- and
- a gap-filler adapted to close said gap once the excess optical adhesive has drained.
A system for displaying information in an outdoor environment to an intended observer comprising:
- a liquid crystal display (LCD) mounted in an outdoor environment;
- and
- a durable anti-reflective exterior display panel placed between the LCD and the intended observer.
