Patent Images
1. A sealed pixel assembly comprising:
- a circuit board including one or more light emitting elements, each light emitting element having an electrical conductor coupled with the circuit board at a base end;
a potting shell at least partially enclosing the circuit board and the one or more light emitting elements;
an encapsulation potting material disposed within the potting shell, the encapsulation potting material encapsulating and hermetically sealing the electrical conductor and the base end of each of the one or more light emitting elements, and at least a portion of the circuit board; and
one or more cables extending from the circuit board, the one or more cables configured for coupling with at least one other sealed pixel assembly to form an electronic display.

Abstract
Discrete flexible pixel assemblies can be hermetically sealed from the environment and can comprise unitary, self-contained replaceable modules which enable efficient, economical production of large scale, free-form electronic displays, signs and lighting effects for outdoor use. The method and means for producing hermetically sealed discrete flexible pixel assemblies can include encapsulation means, exterior encasement means, and cable connector means.
