The display screen has an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side. The media chassis is mounted to a lower half of the display screen and extends from the non-interior facing side of the display screen. The shock absorbing member has a screen attachment part and a contact part. The screen attachment part is attached to an upper half of the display screen and extends from the non-interior facing side. The contact part is configured to at least one of contact the media chassis and displace relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An in-module media assembly comprising: a display screen having an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side; a media chassis mounted to a lower half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side of the display screen; and a shock absorbing member having a screen attachment part and a contact part, the screen attachment part being attached to an upper half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side, the contact part being configured to at least one of contact the media chassis and displace relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis, the contact part being spaced from the media chassis when the display screen has not moved relative to the media chassis. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The in-module media assembly according to claim 1, wherein the contact part includes a first contact section and a second contact section, the first and second contact sections extending from the screen attachment part towards the media chassis. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The in-module media assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first and second contact sections extend from opposite lateral ends of the screen attachment part. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The in-module media assembly according to claim 3, wherein the contact part and the screen attachment part of the shock absorption member is a one-piece member. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The in-module media assembly according to claim 3, wherein the shock absorption member is made of steel. ### Claim 6 An in-module media assembly comprising: a display screen having an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side; a media chassis mounted to a lower half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side of the display screen; and a shock absorbing member having a screen attachment part and a contact part, the screen attachment part being attached to an upper half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side, the contact part being configured to at least one of contact the media chassis and displace relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis, the shock absorption member further including at least one contact bolt connecting the contact part and the media chassis, the at least one contact bolt being configured to move relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The in-module media assembly according to claim 6, wherein the at least one contact bolt includes a pair of contact bolts and the media chassis includes a pair of receiving holes, each receiving hole receiving one of the pair of contact bolts. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The in-module media assembly according to claim 7, wherein the pair of receiving holes of the media chassis is a pair of slots. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The in-module media assembly according to claim 6, wherein the at least one contact bolt is configured to dislodge from the contact part upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis. ### Claim 10 An in-module media assembly comprising: a display screen having an interior-facing side and a non-interior facing side; a media chassis mounted to a lower half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side of the display screen; and a shock absorbing member having a screen attachment part and a contact part, the screen attachment part being attached to an upper half of the display screen and extending from the non-interior facing side, the contact part being configured to at least one of contact the media chassis and displace relative to the media chassis upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis, the contact part including a frangible section extending from a contact arm, the frangible section being configured to deform upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis, the contact arm not overlying the media chassis and the frangible section overlying the media chassis. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The in-module media assembly according to claim 10, wherein the frangible section includes at least one protruding tab configured to deform upon relative movement of the upper half of the display screen towards the media chassis. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) A vehicle comprising, the in-module media assembly of claim 1.
