Rae,
The simplest and most inexpensive way would be to author a DVD that  
is self-running and looping.  Any DVD player will then work to show  
the display.  Depending on your budget you can buy a standard DVD  
player or a longer-lasting industrial DVD player.

In the past, we've used the Pioneer V7400 which claims it will run  
for 37,000 hours. (The V7400 also allows for external buttons, etc.)  
V7400s that we spec'd an exhibit two years ago are still running fine.
