Display cover mounting

A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

• forming a housing that includes a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls that, along with the bottom wall, form an interior space of the housing with a front opening, the front opening defined by a top edge of the side walls, the top edge of the side walls having a first chamfer;
• forming a transparent display cover with edges having a second chamfer;
• applying a first bonding material to a bottom surface of the transparent display cover;
• affixing an active display assembly to the bottom surface of the transparent display cover using the first bonding material;
• applying a second bonding material along the first chamfer of the top edge of the side walls of the housing;
• placing the transparent display cover and affixed active display assembly over the front opening such that the first chamfer of the top edge of the side walls of the housing align with the second chamfer of the transparent display cover;
• and
• allowing the second bonding material to cure such that the display cover affixes to the housing thereby enclosing the interior space of the housing.

A display device comprising:

• a housing including:
• a bottom wall;
• and
• a plurality of side walls that, along with the bottom wall, form an interior space of the housing with a front opening, the front opening defined by a top edge of the side walls, the top edge of the side walls having a first chamfer creating an first angled mounting surface;
• a display cover including a panel of transparent material with edges having a second chamfer, the second chamfer creating a second angled mounting surface, first and second angled mounting surfaces substantially in parallel and aligned such that the display cover encloses the interior space the housing;
• an active display assembly arranged within the interior space of the housing and affixed to a bottom surface of the display cover by a bonding material, the active display assembly oriented so as to be viewable through the front opening, while in use;
• and
• a gasket between the first and second mounting surfaces, the gasket configured to provide an air tight seal between the first and second mounting surfaces;
• wherein display cover is affixed to the housing through the introduction of a vacuum within the interior space of the housing.
