Abstract
An LCD assembly (10) having an LCD device mounted on a substrate (12) with a flex cable and connector assembly (14) electrically and mechanically attached thereto. A mounting border (16) has a plurality of border screw holes (40) isolated from a main body (30) of the mounting border (16) by a plurality of stress relief slots (34) such that the main body (39) connects to the border screw holes (40) only through a plurality of land areas (44). An aperture mask 18 is interposed between a LCD subassembly (28) and a frame (20). The frame (20) has a lens receptor (42) for accepting a field lens (22) secured in a lens mount. Mounting screws (26) secure the mounting border (16) to the frame (20).
Claims19
A display device assembly, comprising:
- frame;
- a substrate;
- a display device affixed to a substrate;
- and
- a mounting border affixed to the substrate, the mounting border having at least one attachment structure for fixing the mounting border to the frame, and at least one stress relief aperture disposed between the attachment structure and the portion of mounting border affixed to the substrate to prevent stress caused by fixing the mounting border to the frame from deforming the substrate.
A mounting border for mounting a display device subassembly to another structure, comprising:
- a main body adapted for accepting the display device subassembly;
- at least one mounting hole adapted for securing the mounting border to the other structure therethrough;
- and
- a stress relief slot for at least partially isolating the main body from the mounting hole;
- whereby stress resulting from securing the mounting border to the other structure is prevented from deforming the display device subassembly.
