Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic device display may include display layers mounted in a display chassis. The display chassis may have a plastic chassis structure and a metal chassis structure. Backlight structures may include a rectangular light guide plate. Light-emitting diodes within the backlight structures may emit light that is coupled into the light guide plate. The display chassis may have four edges that surround a rectangular opening. The rectangular opening may be configured to receive display layers such as the light guide plate. The metal chassis may have a C-shaped cross-section that forms a cavity in which the light-emitting diodes are mounted. The metal chassis structure may have engagement features such as holes and bent tabs. The plastic chassis structure may be overmolded on the metal chassis structure in engagement with the engagement features. Mounting structures may be formed from protruding portions of the plastic chassis structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. Display structures, comprising: light-emitting diodes mounted to a flexible printed circuit; a metal chassis structure in which the light-emitting diodes and flexible printed circuit are mounted; and a plastic chassis structure that is molded to the metal chassis structure, wherein the metal chassis structure has sheet metal portions that form a cavity in which the light-emitting diodes and flexible printed circuit are mounted, wherein the sheet metal po…
