Translucent digital display system

A hinged door with digital display system for an enclosure having a refrigeration system to keep product displayed in the enclosure at a desired temperature, said hinged door comprising, in combination:

• a transparent outer protective panel and a transparent inner protective panel, the inner and outer protective panels being spaced apart in parallel relationship with each other and substantially coextensive in length and width;
• a frame encircling peripheries of the outer and inner protective panels and enclosing outer edges of the outer and inner protective panels to form a sealed space between the outer and inner protective panels;
• hinges secured to the frame;
• wherein the sealed space between the outer and inner protective panels is filled with an inert gas;
• a translucent digital video display located within the sealed space between the outer and inner protective panels;
• a light guide including a glass panel secured to the translucent video display and located within the sealed space between the outer and inner protective panels;
• wherein the glass panel includes micro-particles therein for reflecting light;
• a light source located within the sealed space between the outer and inner protective panels adjacent an edge of the glass pane to provide light within the glass panel that strikes the micro-particles and is reflected through the inner protective panel and also though the translucent digital video display and out through the outer protective panel;
• an integrated media player including memory and a wireless communication system and configured to receive video media files for viewing on the digital video display;
• and
• wherein the integrated media player is located between the inner and outer protective panels and is operably connected to the translucent digital video display so that full-motion videos displayed on the translucent digital video display are viewed through the outer protective panel and items located behind the inner protective panel can be viewed through the translucent digital video display;
• and
• wherein the outer and inner protective panels, the frame, the digital video display, the light source, and the integrated media player are configured to move as a self-contained package about the hinges.
