Method for manufacturing a display unit, which display unit comprises a first plate-type element and a second plate-type element made of transparent material, situated essentially parallel to the first plate-type element and serving as a window, and a frame made of flexible material which is moulded in an undetachable manner onto at least part of the periphery of one of the two plate-type elements, and which holds the two plate-type elements together, while a replaceable picture carrier of sheet-like or film-like material can be placed between the two plate-type elements. The first plate-type element and the second plate-type element are place together in an injection mould, without the picture carrier placed between them. Subsequently, in an injection moulding process, the frame of flexible plastic material is moulded in an undetachable manner onto at least part of the periphery of one of the two plate type elements.

Display unit, comprising a first plate-type element and a second plate-type element made of transparent material, situated essentially parallel to the first plate-type element and serving as a window, which plate-type elements are connected to each other, with the exception of one side, by a frame made of flexible material which is moulded in an undetachable manner onto both plate-type elements by injection moulding, in which at the side which is detached from the first plate-type element the second plate-type element has an edge part which projects beyond the first plate-type element, and together with the adjacent side of the first plate-type element bounds an opening for inserting and removing a replaceable picture carrier of sheet-like or film-like material between the plate-type elements.
