Abstract
A display screen of an electronic device may be supported by one or more subassemblies positioned between the display screen and a printed circuit board to which the display screen is secured. Each subassembly is able to act as an independent suspension for the display screen and is able to cushion the display screen by absorbing mechanical tolerances and mechanical shock and vibration. The subassemblies may be mounted on the printed circuit board using surface mount technology.
