Display assemblies and related systems and methods providing field leak testing are disclosed. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to an ambient environment and an internal area, and fan(s) located within, or fluidly connected with, the internal area. Differential pressure readings are taken before and while and/or after to command a speed of the fan(s) to be temporarily increased. Where an insufficient change is provided, indication of a probable leak is provided.

Display assemblies with differential pressure sensors

Display assemblies are provided which include subassemblies attached to a structural framework, each including a passageway and at least one of which also includes an electronic display layer, an illumination device, and a forward cover. A closed loop airflow pathway for circulating gas is formed by a rear passageway behind the subassemblies and the passageway of each subassembly. Fan units associated the subassemblies and positioned to cause flow of the circulating gas within the passageways of the respective subassemblies in a respective direction.

Display assemblies inducing turbulent flow

A fan unit for improved airflow within a display assembly is provided. Fans are provided at a housing which includes a rear wall opposite a forward portion and an upper surface extending therebetween. The rear wall extends laterally beyond each of the fans and defines peaks, each accommodating one of said fans and a valley between adjacent ones of the fans.

Fan unit for providing improved airflow within display assemblies

Systems and methods for detecting and alerting to likely leaks in an electronic display assembly are provided. An electronic display assembly includes an electronic display, a testing area, and a differential pressure sensor fluidly connected to ambient air in an ambient environment and gas within the testing area. A controller determines one or more differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor, and generates and transmits an electronic notification where the differential pressure readings are below a predetermined threshold.

Interchangeable display assemblies are provided. A frame is configured to interchangeably accept any one of a number of digital side assemblies, each including an electronic display, a number of static side assemblies, each including a poster cavity which accepts signage, and a number of cover side assemblies at a first portion and any other one of the number of digital side assemblies, the number of static side assemblies, and the number of cover side assemblies at a second portion thereof.

Field serviceable and replaceable assembly

A display assembly for inducing turbulent flow and integrating an electric vehicle charger. A first and second subassembly are connected to a structural framework, each including a cover, an electronic display layer located behind the cover, a rear panel located behind the electronic display layer, and a fan assembly located at a rear surface of the rear panel. The electric vehicle charger is also connected to the structural framework.

Display assemblies inducing relatively turbulent flow and integrating electric vehicle charging equipment

Electronic display assemblies providing enhanced leak detection, and systems and methods related to the same, are provided. A differential pressure sensor detects a differential pressure between an ambient environment and a testing area of the electronic display assembly. A controller determines differential pressure readings based on data received from the differential pressure sensor and selectively generates electronic notifications based on said differential pressure readings.

Field serviceable display assemblies are provided. Multiple side assemblies are mounted to a structural framework in a moveable manner, each including a channel located between a transparent layer and an electronic display, which is located behind the transparent layer. A fixed structure is positioned within a cavity located within the structural framework and between the side assemblies. The fixed structure remains stationary when the side assemblies are moved between a closed position where the cavity is enclosed, and an opened position where the fixed structure is exposed to facilitate direct access to electronic components located thereon.

A display assembly for inducing turbulent flow includes electronic display subassemblies attached to a structural framework, each including an illumination device for providing illumination to an electronic display layer when powered, a cover forward of said electronic display layer, and a closed loop fan unit located at a first side of the respective one of said electronic display subassemblies. A rear passageway is positioned between the electronic display subassemblies. A closed loop airflow pathway for circulating gas extends through each of the electronic display subassemblies and includes the rear passageway.

A fan unit for improved airflow within a display assembly is provided. Fans are provided at a housing which includes a rear wall defining a curved shape with peaks to accommodate one of the fans and a valley between adjacent ones of the fans. The fan units induce relatively laminar flow within certain portions of an airflow pathways extending with the display assembly and relatively turbulent flows in other portions of the display assembly when activated.

A first and second display assembly are moveably mounted to a frame. At least one of the display assemblies includes a cover, an electronic display located behind the cover, and a first and second channel. A fixed plate is attached to the frame and positioned entirely within a cavity located between the display assemblies and the frame. The cavity and the first channel are part of a closed loop pathway, while the second channel is part of an open loop pathway. The closed loop is sealed when the display assemblies are in a closed position, and the fixed plate is accessible when the display assemblies are in an open position.

Field serviceable display assembly

An interchangeable display system and method is provided. A first and second side assembly are each selected from a number of: digital side assemblies each comprising an electronic display, static side assemblies each comprising a poster cavity which accepts signage, and cover side assemblies. The first and second side assemblies are interchangeably mounted to a frame. When one of the side assemblies is in need of replacement, it is removed from the frame and a replacement is installed.

A device for sealing an interface is provided. The device includes an opening for a wire to pass through the interface. A first sealing block includes a body and a first portion that extends outwardly therefrom. A concave recess is formed between two points and is sized to surround at least a first portion of the wire. A second sealing block has a body portion with a recess extending inwardly therein and is sized to surround at least a second portion of the wire. The first sealing block and the second sealing block are configured to mate with one another to provide a substantially sealed passage for the wire.

Wire pass through device

A field serviceable and interchangeable display system and method is provided. A first and second side assembly are each selected from a number of: digital side assemblies each comprising an electronic display, static side assemblies each comprising a poster cavity which accepts signage, and cover side assemblies. The first and second side assemblies are interchangeably mounted to a frame in a hinged fashion. When one of the side assemblies is in need of replacement, it is removed from the frame and a replacement is installed.

A field serviceable apparatus includes a first and second display assembly hingedly mounted to a frame in a back to back arrangement. At least one of the display assemblies has a transparent layer, an electronic display, a first channel that receives circulating gas, and a second channel that receives ambient air. A cavity is located in the space between the rear surfaces of the display assemblies and the frame and contains a fixed plate for receiving electronic components. The cavity and the first channel are part of a closed loop pathway, while the second channel is part of an open loop pathway.
