Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media related to a display construct coupled to a structure (e.g., a vision window). The structure can be a supportive structure such as a fixture. The display construct is configured to facilitate media display and is at least partially transparent. The vision window may be a tintable window, e.g., a window in which its tint is electrically controllable (e.g., an electrochromic window). Various interactive capabilities with the display construct are disclosed (e.g., via a touch screen).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A framing system comprising:
a first pane;
a framing system to support the first pane, wherein the framing system comprises a first side;
a transparent display construct;
a support system coupled to the transparent display construct and coupled to the first side of the framing system, wherein:
the support system comprises a fastener having a body, and
the body has a long axis extending in an orthogonal direction from the first side of the framing system to a second side of the framing system.

2. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the transparent display construct is one of a light emitting diode, a liquid crystal device, or a transparent organic light emitting diode device.

3. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the first pane comprises an electrochromic device.

4. The framing system of claim 3 , wherein the electrochromic device comprises:
a substrate,
a first transparent conductive layer,
a second transparent conductive layer between the substrate and the first transparent conductive layer,
an electrochromic layer between the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer, and
an anodic layer between the first transparent conductive layer and the second transparent conductive layer.

5. The framing system of claim 4 , wherein the substrate comprises glass, a plastic, a thermoplastic, a semi-plastic, polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyester, polyamide, a polymer, float glass, silica, or a combination thereof.

6. The framing system of claim 4 , wherein the electrochromic device further comprises an ion conducting layer between the electrochromic layer and the anodic layer.

7. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the support system comprises a first mount and a second mount.

8. The framing system of claim 7 , wherein the first mount is coupled to the framing system.

9. The framing system of claim 8 , wherein the second mount is coupled to the transparent display construct.

10. The framing system of claim 8 , wherein the first mount is orthogonal to the second mount.

11. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the support system is configured to support between 5 kilograms and 50 kilograms.

12. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the body has a length that is between 70% and 95% of the length of the transparent display construct.

13. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein:
the support system further comprises a cover,
the cover comprises a first side opposite to and parallel to a second side, and a third side connecting the first side and the second side, and
the first side and the second side are orthogonal to the transparent display construct.

14. A framing system comprising:
an electrochromic device;
an electrochromic framing system configured to support the electrochromic device;
a transparent organic light emitting diode device; and
a support system coupled to the transparent organic light emitting diode device and the electrochromic framing system, wherein the support system is configured to be adjustable.

15. The framing system of claim 14 , wherein the support system has an adjustable component.

16. The framing system of claim 14 , further comprising a second transparent device and a second support system.

17. The framing system of claim 1 , wherein the support system is a fastener, configured to facilitate installation and/or removal of the display construct from the framing system.
