System for cooling an electronic image assembly with manifolds and ambient gas

An electronic display assembly comprising:

• a housing;
• an electronic image assembly contained within the housing and having a pair of opposing edges;
• an inlet aperture in the housing for accepting ambient gas;
• an exhaust aperture in the housing for exhausting ambient gas;
• a plurality of channels placed behind the electronic image assembly;
• a first manifold placed along one of the opposing edges which accepts ambient gas from the inlet aperture and distributes ambient gas to the plurality of channels;
• a second manifold placed along the opposite edge as the first manifold which accepts ambient gas from the channels and directs it towards the exhaust aperture;
• and
• a fan which forces the ambient gas through the channels.

An electronic display assembly comprising:

• a housing having a top portion, bottom portion, and a pair of vertical edges;
• an electronic image assembly contained within the housing;
• an inlet aperture in the housing for accepting ambient gas;
• an exhaust aperture in the housing for exhausting ambient gas;
• a plurality of metallic channels placed behind and in conductive thermal communication with the electronic image assembly;
• a first manifold placed along one of the vertical edges which accepts ambient gas from the inlet aperture and distributes ambient gas to the plurality of channels;
• a second manifold placed along the opposite vertical edge as the first manifold which accepts ambient gas from the channels and directs it towards the exhaust aperture;
• and
• a plurality of fans within the first manifold which draw the ambient gas into the inlet aperture and through the channels.
