The damper in physical communication with the light guide plate and with the bottom cover. The damper includes a compression portion and a catch portion. The compression portion deforms in response to a force exerted on the compression portion by the light guide plate. The catch portion includes a first groove that interfaces with an end of the compression portion during a first environmental condition. The first groove holds the end of the compression portion and supports the light guide plate when the display is in a pivot position during the first environmental condition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display for an information handling system, the display comprising: a light guide plate; a bottom cover; and a damper in physical communication with the light guide plate and with the bottom cover, the damper including: a compression portion to deform in response to a force exerted on the compression portion by the light guide plate; and a catch portion including a first groove to interface with an end of the compression portion during a first environmental condition, and to hold the end of the compression portion and support the light guide plate when the display is in a pivot position during the first environmental condition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display of claim 1, wherein the damper further includes a second groove to interface with the end of the compression portion during a second environmental condition. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display of claim 2, wherein the second environmental condition is a high temperature or high humidity condition. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The display of claim 2, wherein the first groove has a first shape and the second groove has a second shape. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The display of claim 2, wherein the second groove is located further from the end of the compression portion than the first groove when the damper is in an initial position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The display of claim 1, wherein the end of the compression portion includes first and second corners, wherein the first corner is a different shape than the second corner. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The display of claim 1, wherein the damper is secured to the bottom cover via an adhesive material. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The display of claim 1, wherein the damper is made from a reinforced plastic material. ### Claim 9 A display for an information handling system, the display comprising: a light guide plate; a plurality of light emitting diodes located along a first edge of the light guide plate, the light emitting diodes to illuminate the light guide plate; a bottom cover; and a damper in physical communication with the light guide plate and with the bottom cover, the damper including: a compression portion to deform in response to a force exerted on the compression portion by the light guide plate; and a catch portion including a first groove to interface with an end of the compression portion during a first environmental condition, and to hold the end of the compression portion and support the light guide plate when the display is in a pivot position during the first environmental condition. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The display of claim 9, wherein the damper further includes a second groove to interface with the end of the compression portion during a second environmental condition. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The display of claim 10, wherein the second environmental condition is a high temperature or high humidity condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The display of claim 10, wherein the first groove has a first shape and the second groove has a second shape. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The display of claim 10, wherein the second groove is located further from the end of the compression portion than the first groove when the damper is in an initial position. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The display of claim 9, wherein the damper holds the light guide plate in proper alignment with the light emitting diodes while the display is in the pivot position. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The display of claim 9, wherein the end of the compression portion includes first and second corners, wherein the first corner is a different shape than the second corner. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The display of claim 9, wherein the damper is secured to the bottom cover via an adhesive material. ### Claim 17 A display for an information handling system, the display comprising: a light guide plate; a bottom cover; and a damper in physical communication with the light guide plate and with the bottom cover, the damper including: a compression portion to deform in response to a force exerted on the compression portion by the light guide plate, wherein an end of the compression portion includes first and second corners, wherein the first corner is a different shape than the second corner; and a catch portion including a first groove to interface with the end of the compression portion during a first environmental condition, and to retain the first corner of the end of the compression portion and support the light guide plate when the display is in a pivot position during the first environmental condition. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The display of claim 17, wherein the damper further includes a second groove to interface with the end of the compression portion during a second environmental condition. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The display of claim 18, wherein the second environmental condition is a high temperature or high humidity condition. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The display of claim 18, wherein the first groove has a first shape and the second groove has a second shape.
