Abstract:
A cooling system for an electronic display. Transparent cooling chambers are used to extract heat from the front display surface of an electronic display. A refrigerated air source is in gaseous communication with the cooling chamber. Additional fans may be used to cool other components of the electronic display. Multiple displays may be used where each display and the refrigerated air source is housed within the housing. The housing contains air inlet and air exhaust ports. An air curtain device may be used with some embodiments. An open-loop, closed-loop, or both types of designs may be used with the cooling chambers. Temperature sensors may allow the refrigerated air source(s) to be selectively engaged depending on the temperature of the air within the cooling chamber or the temperature of the front display surface. Ambient temperature sensors may also direct the switch between open and closed loops.

Abstract:
An exemplary holding frame (20) is for fixing lamp pairs (31) having electrode holders (311) and lamps wires (312), and includes a top surface (201), a bottom surface (202), an inner surface (203), and an outer surface (204). The top surface defines plural electrode receiving openings (2011). The bottom surface defines plural wiring openings (2021). The outer surface defines plural electrode groove pairs (2041), and each electrode groove of each of the electrode groove pairs communicates between a respective one of the wiring openings and a respective one of the electrode receiving openings. The electrode groove pairs are configured for receiving the electrode holders of the lamp pairs. The bottom surface defines plural wiring channels (2022), and each wiring channel communicates between the wiring openings at a corresponding electrode groove pair. The wiring channels configured for receiving selected portions of the lamps wires.
Abstract:
A light flux control member has a back face provided with a first recess portion and ventilation grooves. Output light of the light emitting element arranged as to correspond to the first recess portion enters into the light flux control member via the first recess portion and ventilation grooves being emitted from a light control emission face of the light flux control member after inner-propagation. Refraction of incident light to second recess portions formed in the ventilation grooves hardly generate inner-propagation light which has travelling directions near to a direction of reference optical axis L. This avoids emission from the light control emission face from providing a ring-like bright part. In addition, heat emitted from the light emitting element can be released at a high efficiency because a space in the first recess portion communicates with the outside of the light flux control member.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight disposed at a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The backlight includes a light source, a frame housing the light source, a heat dissipating plate disposed inside the frame, and a reflective sheet disposed at a surface of the heat dissipating plate on the liquid crystal display panel side. The heat dissipating plate is formed with a heat dissipating fin protruding to a surface of the frame on the side opposite to the liquid crystal display panel through an opening formed through the frame in a portion corresponding to the upper portion thereof and formed with an opening which is closed with the frame and the reflective sheet in a portion corresponding to the lower portion thereof.
Abstract:
A display apparatus having a display module, to display a picture, includes a front casing positioned adjacent to a front and side of the display module, and a rear casing positioned in a rear of the display module and with a plurality of air slits, to dissipate heat generated in the display module. The front casing includes an insulator, to prevent the heat generated in the display module from being transferred exterior of the front casing. The display apparatus prevents heat from being transferred from a display module to the exterior of a front casing. Further, debris created while a screw is inserted does not fall toward the display module, thereby preventing the display module from a malfunction due to the fallen debris.
