A system and method for providing digital AV signal to multiple displays where the digital AV signal is displayed simultaneously and sychronized. Exemplary embodiments utilize serializers, de-serializers, and clock cleaners to transmit the data to a chain of display nodes. The display nodes convert the serial data stream into a parallel data stream. The parallel data stream is de-jittered and used to drive a display and optional audio system. The parallel data stream is then converted back into a serial data stream and sent to the next display node in the chain. A clock present in the data stream allows synchronization of all the displays in the chain. A distribution display node may be used at any display node location to increase the number of chains in the data delivery system.

A light emitting diode (LED) circuit having a plurality of LEDs electrically connected in series with a zener diode electrically connected to each LED in parallel. If an LED were to fail, the current can be routed around the failed LED, through the zener diode, and continue through the rest of the LEDs in the series connection. Thus, a failure in one LED does not cause the entire series string to lose their illumination. Some embodiments may place several LED strings in parallel with one another. Exemplary embodiments may mount the LCDs on a metal core printed circuit board (PCB). Further embodiments may place a thin metallic sheet or metallic surface on the rear surface of the PCB and in thermal communication with the PCB and/or LEDs.

An electronic display assembly where the components can be removed and serviced or replaced without having to remove the display from its position. A backplane may be in electrical communication with the image producing assembly and may contain a plurality of blind mate connectors. Various electronic assemblies may be connected to the blind mate connectors. An access panel may provide access to the electronic assemblies so that they can be removed from the housing. N+1 power supplies may be used so that if one fails the unit would continue to operate until the failed power supply could be replaced. The electronic assemblies may be removed from the left side, right side, top, or bottom surfaces of the display housing. Any flat panel electronic display may be used.

A preferred embodiment relates to controlling the amount of backlight in an electronic display to account for the temperature in the backlight cavity. Another embodiment relates to a system for controlling the amount of backlight based on both the temperature in the backlight cavity and the amount of ambient light. The embodiments are especially useful in electronic displays which are subjected to cold or warm temperatures and displays which are placed in very bright environments. Exemplary embodiments allow the display to remain visible, while avoiding possible damage due to high levels of heat or cold.

Exemplary embodiments include a backlight assembly for a display wherein the backlight assembly is comprised of a plurality of tiles. Each tile has a plurality of lights attached to it, such that when a single light or group of lights fail, the tile may be replaced without having to replace the entire backlight assembly. The current draw and/or illumination of each tile is calibrated and maintained throughout the life of the display to ensure a uniform distribution of light across the backlight assembly.

Exemplary embodiments connect lights in both series and parallel. The lights can be LEDs, organic light emitting diodes (OLED), field emitting display (FED), light emitting polymer (LEP), or organic electro-luminescence (OEL). Exemplary embodiments also mount the lights on a printed circuit board (PCB) which has low thermal resistivity between the surface containing the lights and the opposite surface. The opposite surface may be metallic, and air may be forced over this surface in order to cool the assembly.

An electronic display which can be serviced without having to remove the display from its mounted position. A front housing and a rear housing are hingedly attached so that the front housing can rotate and allow access to the interior of the display. An axial force mechanism can be used to aid in rotating the front housing to an open position. A locking collar, support member, or axial locking member may be used to ensure that the front housing remains open. A removable front glass assembly or removable glass panel may be used with an exemplary embodiment. The front glass assembly or glass panel can be easily replaced if it becomes damaged by minimally-trained personnel. Gutters may be used between the front and rear housing as well as the front housing and front glass assembly to ensure an adequate seal against contaminates.
