Description

Title of the invention: 360° circular LED display panel TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to a 360° circular LED display panel, also known as a "light newspaper". This innovative device is characterized by its compact dimensions and light weight, allowing easy handling by a single person. Its lightness and ease of operation are enhanced by low power consumption. In addition, it offers the possibility of displaying text in a visible and readable manner up to a distance of 30 meters.

[0002] The dynamic capacity to display videos, images and text results from the flexible LED modules arranged over its entire surface, ensuring 360° visibility. Designed specifically for installation on the ceiling in large commercial areas, in pavilion mode during events on exhibition stands, or on the roof of a vehicle at dealerships using a powerful magnet, with the possibility of moving its power supply box, this panel combines versatility and optimal visibility. Its use finds various applications in the field of visual communication, variable text panels, offering an innovative solution to attract attention in a variety of contexts, whether indoors or outdoors in its panoramic waterproof version. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

[0003] In today's technological context, LED display panels, exploiting light-emitting diode (LED) technology, integrate a variety of types and shapes of LEDs to allow optimal display of images and text. These panels are frequently equipped with communication functionalities such as WiFi, Ethernet or GSM, thus facilitating remote manipulation of information.

[0004] However, it is essential to emphasize that the circular LED panels currently available on the market often have an imposing size, significant dimensions and excessive weight and are energy-intensive. This characteristic generates significant drawbacks, requiring substantial protective measures for installation, disassembly, transport, adjustment, and above all, troubleshooting which requires the intervention of a specialized technician on site. In addition, their weight makes them unsuitable for use on vehicles, for installation on the ceiling of a business in the form of a lamppost, in pavilion mode, or even as delivery kits. This situation thus underlines the crying need for innovations in this field, while maintaining our technological advancement and taking into account the parameters for our environment.

[0005] Our technological advancement must align with a thoughtful and environmentally friendly approach. This is why our cutting-edge cylindrical LED display panel positions itself as an ecological alternative, sporting a compact and lightweight design, while offering optimal energy efficiency. These innovative features aim to minimize the environmental impact while meeting the high demands of the modern world. Thus, our solution is part of a sustainable perspective, reconciling technological progress and environmental responsibility. SUBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0041] DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLES OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0042] The invention relates to a 360° circular LED display panel [Fig.3], also referred to as a light newspaper. This ultra-light model allows the diffusion of videos, images and dynamic text using flexible LED modules integrated into a circular metal frame (2) [Fig.l] with a thickness varying from 1.5 mm to 2 mm

[0043] The frame is precisely cut (1) [Fig.6] to adjust the ventilation and the weight saving and maintenance of the module connections according to their lengths, thus forming a 360° angle.

[0044] The metal frame joint connections are welded. 4mm holes (2) [Fig.6] are drilled along the frame to allow the attachment of a 10mm link chain, 50cm long, thus facilitating secure fixing to the ceiling.

[0045] The modules (2) [Fig.5] are assembled by a set of PVC plates (3) [Fig.5] pre-cut and drilled with 3 mm holes, positioned on the modules to fix them together by magnetic screws (4) [Fig.5].

[0046] All the modules are connected to the frame by these magnets (1) [Fig.4], thus allowing their rapid disassembly in the event of a breakdown to replace the faulty module.

[0047] The interconnection of each module is done by a ribbon wire (1) [Fig.5] for data transfer. These ribbon wires allow data to be sent via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or GSM. It also manages the adjustment of the programming of the device's shutdown and start.

[0048] The management card (6) [Fig.l] is placed in a PVC case (4) [Fig.l] fixed to an aluminum composite plate (8) [Fig.l] held in place by riveted brackets.

[0049] The power supply part consists of a 220 volt IEC C13 female power socket, fixed to the PVC housing (1) [Fig.5] and intended to be connected to the electrical network. This socket incorporates a switch with a light indicating the power supply, as well as a mains protection fuse to supply the 220 / 5 volt / 60 amp CE transformer power supply unit (10) [Fig.l] This unit is securely fixed inside the PVC housing using screws.

[0050] The ventilation of the system (7) [Fig.l] is ensured from the top, thanks to a circular plate in aluminum composite (8) [Fig.l] perforated 100 mm equipped with 2 ventilation grilles. An external RJ 45 Ethernet port (9) [Fig.l] is accessible for troubleshooting operations, and a Wi-Fi antenna allows the sending and management of contents by mobile phone, computer or GSM.

[0051] A circular plate of diameter less than (l) [Fig.3] than the polycarbonate support light diffuser (1) [Fig.2] is fixed underneath by magnets and decorated with a set of LED lights (2) [Fig.3], adding an aesthetic touch to this product.

[0052] The design of this cylindrical frame (3) [Fig.6], with an assembly of flexible modules (2) [Fig.5] connected by PVC plates (3) [Fig.5] by anchored screws (4) [Fig.5], gives this 360° LED digital display panel a very light weight, 7 kg for a diameter of 0.7 m. This lightness allows it to be easily hung from the ceiling, or on a tripod, or even by magnet (4) [Fig.2] on a metal surface, thus offering various possibilities of use, in particular the quick hanging mode from the ceiling (3) [Fig.3] equipped with carabiners for easy disassembly of the ends. These models of LED light panels, with a dynamic display of text, image and video and variable diameters, are mainly intended for the interior of shop windows for their advertising communication, benefiting from their lightness and ease of handling.
