Thermal Modeling of Air Cooled Outdoor Digital Displays

Abstract

for their valuable feedback on my work, along with the remaining crew of MRI for their assistance. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents and brother who have supported me since the day we moved to the United States. vTABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv LIST OF TABLES vii LIST OF FIGURES viii LIST OF SYMBOLS AND ABBREVIATIONS x SUMMARY xii CHAPTER 1.

Making color display cool: An electrochemical self-cooled dynamic structural color device

“…For most EC display devices, the color switching is mainly based on a significant increase in optical absorption 5,[12][13][14][15][16][17] . Therefore, their dynamic coloration inevitably introduces excessive solar thermal load and rapid temperature rises 11,18 , resulting in decreased lifetime, catastrophic failure of the internal electronic components 19 , and reduced durability of EC materials themselves 20,21 . Current active cooling technologies, such as air-conditioning and fans, can dissipate the heat, but they often lead to very large electrical power consumption 22,23 .…”
