Embodiment Construction

[0026] As described above, the present invention provides a display that can be attached to the exterior surface of a building to allow the appearance of the building to be changed. (The display system of the present invention may additionally include displays on the interior surfaces of buildings; for example, when used in a parking garage, the display system may include displays on the interior surfaces of the garage to provide variable traffic signs.)

[0027] The displays and systems of the present invention are used primarily, but not exclusively, with electrophoretic media. Electrophoretic media offer some unique and beneficial features that allow the construction of very large displays, which solve many of the above-mentioned problems, and make the construction well suited for very large-scale architectural displays. The bistability of the electrophoretic medium allows low power operation and does not require a wired connection to a power outlet. The bistability of the...

Abstract

A display (100) primarily intended for use on an external surface of a building comprises a weatherproof housing (310, 340); a bistable electro-optic medium (326) enclosed within and visible through the housing; an electrode (324, 330) enclosed within the weatherproof housing and arranged to drive the electro-optic medium; a power generating means (504) enclosed within the weatherproof housing; data receiving means (508) enclosed within the weatherproof housing and arranged to receive data wirelessly from a source outside the weatherproof housing; and display drive means (510) arranged to receive data from the data receiving means and power from the power generating means, and to control the potential of the electrode.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is related to co-pending US application serial number 14 / 934,662, filed November 6, 2015 and co-pending US application serial number 15 / 165,795, filed May 26, 2016. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to displays for architectural applications, and buildings and similar structures comprising such displays. Background technique [0004] The recent development of lightweight low power bistable displays has led to consideration of the use of such displays on buildings and similar structures to allow changes in the appearance of buildings, either for aesthetic purposes or to control energy absorption and reflection. However, there are many difficulties in constructing a display that can cover the entire or most of the exterior surface of a large building. If a building is hundreds or thousands of feet long, it would be nearly impossible to fabricate a display as a single element at that scale, and even sta...
