Abstract
A vehicle display assembly includes a display configured to graphically depict information. A printed circuit board (PCB) is in communication with the display. A carrier is clamped between the display and PCB to form an instrument cluster assembly. The carrier includes cooling fins.
Claims14
A vehicle display assembly comprising:
- a display configured to graphically depict information;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) in communication with the display, the PCB having at least one of a processor and a memory chip;
- and
- a carrier clamped between the display and PCB to form an instrument cluster assembly the display secured to the carrier at multiple fastening points, the carrier is a metallic structure, and the at least one of the processor and the memory chip engages the carrier and faces the display, wherein the carrier has an average cross-sectional thickness in a range of 2-5 mm.
