Abstract
The aspects disclosed herein relate to a display unit and a method for producing a display unit, is to provide a display unit which is easy to produce and is not susceptible to compressive and tensile stresses acting on the protective housing. This object is achieved in that the TFT module is disposed within a first housing half and the backlighting unit is disposed within a second housing half, and in that the first housing half is connected to the second housing half by means of a plurality of mounting elements, the mounting elements having predetermined breaking points.
Claims12
A method for producing a display unit, comprising:
- providing a thin-film transistor (TFT) module:
- connecting a backlighting unit to the TFT module,
- connecting the TFT module to a joining layer, a front panel;
- connecting the backlighting unit to a protective housing, wherein
- the TFT module connection to the backlighting unit is provided at least indirectly with a connection to the backlighting unit and has a predetermined breaking point;
- breaking the mounting element in response to connecting the backlighting unit to the protective housing;
- and
- eliminating a rigid mechanical connection between the TFT module and the backlighting unit to prevent stresses being transferred between the TFT module and the backlighting unit.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a thin-film transistor (TFT) module;
- a backlighting unit connected to the TFT module;
- a joining layer connected to the TFT module;
- a front panel connected to the TFT module;
- a protective housing connected to the backlighting unit, wherein
- the TFT module connection to the backlighting unit is provided at least indirectly with a connection to the backlighting unit and has a predetermined breaking point;
- wherein the mounting element is configured to break in response to connecting the backlighting unit to the protective housing;
- and
- wherein a rigid mechanical connection between the TFT module and the backlighting unit is eliminated to prevent stresses being transferred between the TFT module and the backlighting unit.
