FIELD SERVICEABLE DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

An electronic display panel (90) is ruggedized by optically bonding optically transparent plates (75, 120) to the front and back of the display panel (90). Electronic devices associated with the display panel (90), such as drivers (130, 135), may be encased in a resin or other material (155) to provide environmental and mechanical protection for the electronic devices. An outdoor display device (5) includes a two part housing (10, 15) with a weatherized electronic display panel (90) mounted in one part and a back light mounted in the second part. The housing (10, 15) is easily opened at the display device (5) location to provide access to the back light components and the back of the weatherized electronic display panel (90) for maintenance or other purposes. Fans (235) and air passages (205, 220, 230) may be provided to circulate air through the housing (10, 15) to help cool the display device (5).
