主权项

1. A display system for a fuel dispenser comprising:
a printed circuit board comprising a metallization element configured to convey heat energy; a heat generating device in thermal communication with the metallization element; an electrophoretic display device in thermal communication with the metallization element, said electrophoretic display device having an active display portion; and said printed circuit board and said electrophoretic display device being electrically interconnected such that operational signals may be supplied to said electrophoretic display device by means of said printed circuit board, wherein the heat generating device generates localized heat that is dispersed throughout the metallization element, the metallization element largely corresponding with, and located proximate to, the active display portion of said electrophoretic display.
