Screen Frame

[vidupont]

The Screen frame is based on multi-layers of beech and walnut. It hosts the screen panel and main board ( /!\ 220-400v components), and cabling to the CPU board.

• Frame structure is assembly with finger joints, once the 3 layers are glued
• Front is a flat Mitter jointed frame with also walnut/beech
• Inserts into the front frame for camera and little ePaper screen
• Back of the frame has additional curved part, which allow the placement of panel board and inside cabling, with enough venting space
• Frame is attached to the base with a brushed metal tube

The frame has:

• LCD IPS Panel with multitouch capacitive layer & driver
• Panel board with HDMI, Audio and 220v power
• USB Webcam
• IoT Sensors (see hardware wiki page)

Due to the panel board running high voltage, the back of the frame will be screwed and no "User" access will ne required. That's why the rest of the hardware will be placed into the totem base, where an access door is foreseen.

Better fix the screen : protect the gap between screen and front panel with foam. Adjust the screen level vs frame edge Changing screen overlay (black border) with frame size : ok
