Exemplary embodiments relate generally to display assemblies configured to generate turbulent flow, such as in a chamber common to multiple displays.
Display assemblies often generate heat, such as from solar loading, ingestion of relatively warm ambient air, and/or powering of internal components such as a backlight. This results in a need to thermally manage such display assemblies, particularly when used in outdoor applications. It is known to provide back-to-back electronic displays with a common plenum, such as is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 8,373,841 issued Feb. 12, 2013, or a common heat exchanger, such as is provided in U.S. Pat. No. 8,351,014 issued Jan. 8, 2013. As energy and/or manufacturing efficiency demands increase, what is needed are display assemblies which provide efficient thermal management and/or which are capable of being manufactured in an efficient manner.
Display assemblies which are capable of being manufactured in an efficient manner and/or which provide efficient thermal management are provided. These display assemblies may include multiple electronic display subassemblies, each comprising an electronic display layer. Each of the multiple electronic display subassemblies may be mountable to a structural framework, such as on opposing sides thereof so that the electronic display layers face in opposing directions. The subassemblies may be completely or substantially identical to reduce manufacturing complexity and/or the need to store or provide different types of subassemblies, such as for servicing or replacement.
Each of the subassemblies may be configured to provide a relatively laminar flow through one or both of a front passageway and an illumination device passageway. Each of the subassemblies may be configured to provide a relatively turbulent flow within a rear passageway common to at least two, or all, of the multiple subassemblies. Each subassembly may comprise one or more closed loop fan units positioned adjacent to an entrance to said front passageway and/or said illumination device passageway for the respective subassembly. Each of the closed loop fan units may comprise a plurality of fans within a common housing, though separate housings may be utilized. Each of the closed loop fan units may comprise an exhaust fluidly adjacent to the entrance to one or both of said front passageway and an illumination device passageway, and an intake fluidly adjacent to said rear passageway.
As each of the subassemblies may be completely or substantially identical, when positioned at opposing sides of the structural framework, the intake(s) for the closed loop fan unit(s) of a first one of the multiple subassemblies may be proximate to an exit of the front passageway and/or the illumination device passageway of a second one of the multiple subassemblies. Similarly, the intake(s) for the closed loop fan unit(s) of the second one of the multiple subassemblies may be proximate to the exit of the front passageway and/or the illumination device passageway of the first one of the multiple subassemblies. This may cause at least some of the air exiting the passageway and/or the illumination device passageway of a given one of the multiple subassemblies to be ingested by the closed loop fan unit of another of the multiple subassemblies. This may, alternatively or additionally, cause at least some of the air exiting the passageway and/or the illumination device passageway of a given one of the multiple subassemblies to travel through the rear passageway and be ingested by the closed loop fan unit of the given one of the multiple subassemblies. This arrangement may induce at least a partial cross-flow of circulating gas within the rear passageway and/or at least a partial counter flow of the circulating gas within the rear passageway when the closed loop fan unit(s) are activated, thereby resulting in relatively turbulent flow within the rear passageway, which may improve heat exchange efficiency. This may, alternatively, or additionally, permit relatively cool circulating gas exiting one of the subassemblies facing away from the sun to enter the front and/or illumination device passageways of an opposing one of the subassemblies facing the sun for added cooling.
The closed loop fan units may be configured to induce a relatively laminar flow within the front and/or illumination device passageways. This may improve extraction of solar load and/or maintain a relatively flat electronic display layer for improved optics. In exemplary embodiments, the closed loop fan units for each subassembly may be provided in a housing having a curved shape for improved airflow efficiency. For example, the housing may comprise peaks about each of the fans of a respective one of the closed loop fan units and a valley between adjacent ones of the fans. A leading edge of the housings for the closed fan units may extend at an angle such that the exhaust of the fans is not directly atop an entrance to one or both of the front passageway(s) and the illumination device passageway. The fans may each be centrifugal type fans.

The units 10 may comprise one or more electronic display subassemblies 14. Some or all of the electronic display subassemblies 14 may be attached to the structural framework 12 in a moveable manner, though such is not required. For example, the electronic display subassemblies 14 may be attached to the structural framework 12 in a hinged or otherwise moveable manner to permit selective movement between a closed position whereby certain parts of the units 10 are fully or partially sealed, and an open position whereby certain parts of the interior of the unit 10 are exposed for access. In exemplary embodiments, the units 10 may comprise a first and second electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b placed on either side of the structural framework 12 such that the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b face in opposing directions.
One or more intakes/exhausts 16 may be provided at the units 10 for ingesting and/or exhausting ambient air.
Each electronic display subassembly 14 may comprise an illumination device 15. In exemplary embodiments, the illumination device 15 may comprise a number of lighting elements, such as LEDs, provided at a substrate, such as a printed circuit board. Each electronic display subassembly 14 may comprise an electronic display layer 13. The electronic display layer 13 may comprise a layer of liquid crystals, such as for a liquid crystal display, though any type or kind of electronic display may be utilized. In exemplary embodiments, the illumination device 15 may be provided rearward of the electronic display layer 13 to serve as a direct backlight. In other exemplary embodiments, the illumination device 15 may comprise one or more diffusive and/or transmissive layers and the substrate and/or lighting elements may be positioned about the edge of the electronic display layer 13 to provide edge lighting to the same. Alternatively, or additionally, one or more of the electronic display subassemblies 14 may comprise a cavity for a static poster instead of, or in addition to, to the electronic display layer 13 and/or a blank panel.
The electronic display layer 13 and/or illumination device 15 of each subassembly 14 may be positioned rearward of a cover 11. The cover 11 may comprise one or more layers of a transparent or translucent material(s). In exemplary embodiments, each cover 11 may comprise two layers bonded with an optically clear adhesive, which may provide increased impact protection. One or more polarizers, anti-reflective materials, combinations thereof, or the like may be disposed on some or all of the cover 11 as a coating, film, layer, combinations thereof, or the like. The cover 11 may form part of the electronic display subassembly 14 or may be separate therefrom. The cover 11 and the structural framework 12 may together substantially enclose the units 10, such as with intakes/exhausts 16 exempted, when the subassemblies 14 are placed in a closed position. The cover 11 may be configured to move with the electronic display subassembly 14, may be configured for independent movement, and/or may be fixed to the structural framework 12. Each of the electronic display subassemblies 14 may be connected to the structural framework 12 in a hinged or otherwise movable manner, though such is not required.
Multiple such electronic display subassemblies 14 may be provided at a given structural framework 12 for a given unit 10. For example, without limitation, two such subassemblies 14 may be mountable to opposing sides of the structural framework 12 so that the electronic display layers 13 face in opposing directions, such as in a back-to-back arrangement. The electronic display subassemblies 14 may be of the same or different type and may comprise the same or different components. The electronic display subassemblies 14 and/or electronic display layers 13 may be provided in any arrangement such as portrait or landscape.
The intakes and/or exhausts 16 may be fluidly connected to one or more open loop airflow pathways 23 within the units 10. A respective one of the open loop airflow pathways 23a, 23b may extend through a respective one of the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b in exemplary embodiments such that an open loop airflow pathway is provided for each one of the electronic display subassemblies 14, which may be entirely separate, or partially separated from the other open loop airflow pathways, such as for a distance and rejoined. For example, without limitation, the open loop airflow pathways 23 may extend behind and along at least a portion of the illumination devices 15 for the electronic display layers 13 for accepting flows of ambient air. Each of open loop airflow pathways 23 may comprise one or more corrugated layers 25 in exemplary embodiments. The corrugated layers 25 may improve heat transfer from the illumination device 15 to the ambient air by increasing available surface area.
One or more closed loop airflow pathways may be provided within the units 10. In exemplary embodiments, such closed loop airflow pathways may comprise at least a front passageway 26a, 26b of each of the subassemblies 14a, 14b, which may extend between the covers 11a, 11b and the electronic display layers 13a, 13b of the respective subassemblies 14a, 14b. Such closed loop airflow pathways may alternatively, or additionally, comprise at least an illumination device passageway 27a, 27b of each of the subassemblies 14a, 14b, which may extend between each of the electronic display layers 13a, 13b and the respective illumination devices 15a, 15b of the respective electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b.
The closed loop airflow pathway may comprise a rear passageway 21, which may extend behind the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b, and/or the electronic display layers 13a, 13b. The rear passageway 21 may be common to at least two, or all of, the electronic display subassemblies 14 of a given unit 10. The rear passageway 21 may extend between each of the subassemblies 14. Such closed loop airflow pathways may extend entirely within the units 10, such as within outer boundaries of the structural framework 12 and/or the electronic display subassemblies 14. The rear passageway 21 may be defined, at least in part, by the structural framework 12 and/or the subassemblies 14.
Various electronic components 35a, 35b for operating the subassemblies 14a, 14b, respectively may be provided at rear panels 61a, 61b of the subassemblies 14a, 14b. The rear panels 61a, 61b may be provided rearward of the illumination devices 15a, 15b and spaced apart therefrom to at least partially define the open loop airflow pathways 23a, 23b and/or accommodate the corrugated layers 25a, 25b. In this manner, the electronic components 35a, 35b may be located within the rear passageway 21. The electronic components 35 may include, for example, without limitation, video players, power supplies, processors, electronic storage devices, controllers, sensors, combinations thereof, or the like. Any number, type, and/or kind of electronic components 35 may be utilized. The electronic components 35 may be configured to control other components of the unit 10, such as, but not limited to, open loop fan units 18. Each of the open loop fan units 18 may comprise one or more fans 18a, 18b. The electronic components 35a, 35b of a respective one of the subassemblies 14a, 14b may be configured to control components of the respective one of the subassemblies 14a, 14b, though such is not necessarily required.
One or more open loop fan units 18 may be provided. Each of the subassemblies 14 may comprise open loop intakes 65 in fluid communication with the intakes/exhausts 16 for ingesting flows of ambient air 17a, 17b into the respective open loop airflow pathways 23a, 23b. Each of the subassemblies 14 may comprise an open loop exhaust 69 in fluid communication with the intakes/exhausts 16 for ingesting ambient air 17 into the respective open loop airflow pathways 23. The same of different open loop fan units 18 may be associated with each of the open loop airflow pathways 23. The open loop fan units 18 may be configured to ingest ambient air 17 into the units 10, exhaust ambient air 17 from the assembly 10, and/or move ingested ambient air 17 through the one or more open loop airflow pathways 23 when activated. Separate open loop fan units 18 may be used for each of the multiple electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b or the open loop fan units 18 may be common to the various electronic display subassemblies 14 of such units 10.
Each of the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b may comprise one or more closed loop fan units 20a, 20b. Each closed loop fan unit 20a, 20b may comprise one or more fans 31a1, 31a2, 31b1, 31b2 of a same or different type. The closed loop fan units 20 may be configured to move circulating gas through said one or more closed loop airflow pathways when activated. The closed and open loop fan units 20, 18 may comprise axial fans, centrifugal fans, combinations thereof, or the like. Any number or type of fan units 20, 18 may be used at any location in the units 10, and may be provided in banks or sets. Each of the fan units 20, 18 may be operated and/or controlled together or separately. The open loop airflow pathways may be partitioned and/or separated from the closed loop airflow pathways, though a complete (e.g., gas impermeable) separation or seal is not necessarily required. In exemplary embodiments, the separation may be sufficient to prevent solid and/or liquid particulate from passing therethrough and/or solid and/or liquid particulate above a given size from passing therethrough. For example, without limitation, such separation may be sufficient to meet certain ingress protection code (IPC) standards, such as, but not limited to, IP65, IP67, or the like. Each of the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b may comprise one or more partitions 67a, 67b, gaskets, walls, panels, combinations thereof, or the like, which provide separation between the ambient air 17 in the open loop airflow pathways and the circulation gas 19 in the closed loop airflow pathway(s).
Each of the closed loop fan units 20a, 20b may comprise a respective housing 59a, 59b configured to wholly or partially surround each of the individual fans 31a1, 31a2, 31b1, 31b2 of the closed loop fan units 20a, 20b. The housings 59 may be configured to accommodate all of the closed loop fans 31 of a given fan unit 20. However, in other exemplary embodiments, each individual fans 31a1, 31a2, 31b1, 31b2 or groups of the individual fans 31a1, 31a2, 31b1, 31b2 may comprise separate housings 59. The housing 59 may be configured to permit ingestion of the circulating gas 19a/b in the rear passageway 21 and direct the ingested circulating gas 19 in an appropriate direction, such into the front passageway 26 and/or the illumination device passageway 27 of the electronic display subassembly 14. The housings 59 may be configured to provide a relatively laminar flow within the front passageway 26 and/or the illumination device passageway 27. The fans 31 may be positioned within the housings 59 to accomplish the same. For example, without limitation, an intake for the fans 31 may be fluidly adjacent to the rear passageway 21 and an exhaust for the fans 31 may be fluidly adjacent to the front passageway 26 and/or the illumination device passageway 27.
Each of the closed loop fan units 20a, 20b may be provided proximate to an entrance into one or both of the front passageway 26 and the illumination device passageway 27 for generating the flows 19c1, 19c2 through the front passageway 26 and the illumination device passageway 27, respectively, by pushing the circulating gas through the front passageway 26 and the illumination device passageway 27 when the fan(s) 31 are activated. An exhaust, relatively high-pressure side of the closed loop fan units 20 may be positioned fluidly adjacent to the front passageway 26 and/or the illumination device passageway 27, so that the pressure of the flows 19c1 and/or 19c2, particularly at the entrances to the front passageway 26 and the illumination device passageway 27, may be maintained at a relatively high level, such as greater than pressure of ambient air outside of the units 10, though such is not necessarily required. This may reduce or eliminate bowing of the electronic display layer 13 to improve optics. Alternatively, or additionally, this may reduce or eliminate tensile mechanical stresses on the electronic display layer 13 to reduce or eliminate cell breach.
The front passageway 26 and/or the rear passageway 27 may be configured to create and maintain a pressure differential between the flows 19c1 and 19c2 of the circulating gas 19 in the front passageway 26 and/or the rear passageway 27 sufficient to generate net forces at the electronic display layers 13 which reduces or eliminates bowing of the electronic display layers 13. In exemplary embodiments, the pressure of the flow 19c1 in the front passageway 26 may be maintained at a higher level than the flow 19c2 in the illumination device passageway 27, resulting in rearward forces against the electronic display layer 13 to reduce or eliminate outward bowing. Such pressure differentials may be generated using features including, but not limited to, those shown and/or described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,398,066 issued Aug. 27, 2019, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully restated herein.
In exemplary embodiments, positive pressure may be maintained in only the front passageway 26 and/or relatively high pressure may be maintained in the front passageway 26 (e.g., relative to pressure in the flow 19b in the illumination device passageway 27) such that the electronic display layer 13 is pushed towards the illumination device 15 when the closed loop fan unit 20 is operated. Optical spikes 29 or other support structures may be utilized within the illumination device passageway 27 to reduce or eliminate movement of the electronic display layer 13 towards the illumination device 15, such as past the optical spikes 29. The optical spikes 29 may comprise one or more optically transmissible materials. The optical spikes 29 may comprise rods, cones, or the like positioned within the illumination device cavity 27 and may be configured to limit or prevent rearward travel of the electronic display layer 13. The optical spikes 29 may exert normal, compressive forces on the electronic display layer 13, particularly in conjunction with the pressure of the flow 19a of the circulating gas within the front passageway 26. This may be particularly beneficial when unable to generate positive or sufficiently high pressure for the flow 19c2 of the circulating gas within the illumination device passageway 27. This may occur, for example, without limitation, due to variations in ambient air and/or circulating gas pressure. Circulating gas pressure, in particular, may vary due to temperature variations in the circulating gas (e.g., due to solar loading) and/or ambient temperatures, which may affect the unit's 10 ability to remove heat in air-to-air heat exchange.
Any number, type, kind, and/or arrangement of such optical spikes 29 may be utilized. In embodiments where more than one electronic display layer 13a, 13b is utilized, more than one set of optical spikes 29a, 29b for each respective one of the electronic display layers 13a, 13b of the same or different type may likewise be utilized, though such is not required. Such optical spikes 29 are not necessarily required, and may be omitted from view of certain embodiments provided herein to more clearly illustrate other components. However, such optical spikes 29 may be utilized in the same or similar arrangements in such embodiments, even if not expressly provided in the figures.
The housing 59 for the closed loop fan units 20 may comprise a generally curved shaped. A rear wall 63 of the housing 59 may define one or more peaks to accommodate respective ones of the fans 31 and a valley between adjacent ones of the fans 31. Each closed loop fan unit 20 may comprise any number of fans 31, and/or multiple closed loop fan units 20 and/or housings 59 may be used with each side assembly 14. Because the closed loop fans 31, particularly when provided as centrifugal fans, may be configured to exhaust fluid in a generally pinwheel pattern (e.g., outward from a center), the curved shape of the rear wall 63 may encourage relatively laminar flow into the front passageway 26 and/or illumination device passageway 27. The fans 31 may be spaced from the entrance to the front passageway 26 and/or illumination device passageway 27 and a leading edge 71a, 71b of the housings 59a, 59b may extend at an angle to encourage flow into the front passageway 26 and/or illumination device passageway 27. The rear wall 63 may define a generally sinusoidal shape curve by way of non-limiting example. Alternatively, or additionally, the rear wall 63 may define a generally wave or boomerang shape. The shape of the rear wall 63 need not be perfectly curved or smooth and may include one or more portions of which are planar.
When positioned on opposing sides of the structural framework 12, the closed loop fan units 20a, 20b may be located on opposing sides of the unit 10 from one another. This may be particularly true where the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b are the same, or substantially the same. This arrangement may permit at least a first portion 19a of the circulating gas exiting the front passageways 26 and/or illumination device passageways 27 to cross over from one of the electronic display subassemblies 14a, 14b to the other. This may occur more often where the exiting portion 19a of the circulating gas generally aligns with an intake for the opposing closed loop fan unit 20, as shown, for example, without limitation, in
Some of the portion of the circulating gas 19 exiting the front passageways 26 and/or illumination device passageways 27 may not be ingested by the opposing closed loop fan unit 20 and may instead be reflected by various components, such as the rear panel 61, of the opposing subassembly 14 and cause generally chaotic or turbulent flow within the rear passageway 21.
A second portion 19b of the circulating gas exiting the front passageways 26a and/or illumination device passageways 27a may be attracted back to the closed loop fan 20a of the respective electronic display subassembly 14a from which it exited the front passageways 26a and/or illumination device passageways 27a such that the circulating gas forms a loop about one of the electronic display layers 13a. This may be true of the other electronic display subassembly or subassemblies 14b of a given unit 10. This may create a generally counterflow within the rear passageway 21. In this manner, at least a portion of the circulating gas 19 may extend through the rear passageway. This may improve heat transfer.
The intersection of the second portions 19b of the circulating gas from the multiple subassemblies 14 may generate turbulent flow within the rear passageway 21. Furthermore, some of the second portion 19b may be reflected off the opposing electronic display subassembly 14, such as the housing 59 and/or rear panel 17, thereby increasing the turbulence. This may improve heat transfer by itself. It may also ensure adequate mixing between the first and second portions of the circulating gas 19a, 19b for relatively even thermal management.
Portions of an exit from the front passageway 26 and/or illumination device passageway 27 may not generally align with intakes for fans 31 of opposing closed loop fan units 20, such as shown, for example, without limitation, in
