Abstract

Exemplary embodiments disclosed herein provide a rigid LCD assembly including a LCD having a perimeter, a first layer of tape around the perimeter of the LCD, and a diffusing plate attached to the later of tape so as to create a cavity defined by the space between the LCD, tape, and diffusing plate. One or more optical films may be inserted into the cavity, and while constricted in directions perpendicular to the films, the films may be free to move slightly in the directions parallel to the films. A U-shaped backlight wall may attach to the diffusing plate and would contain a backlight. An optional thermal plate can be attached to the backlight wall, which can be used with a second thermal plate to define a channel for accepting cooling air.

First claim

We claim:

1. A rigid LCD assembly comprising:
a liquid crystal display (LCD) having a perimeter;
a first layer of tape attached around the perimeter of the LCD;
a diffusing plate attached to the layer of tape so as to create a cavity defined by the space between the LCD, tape, and diffusing plate; and
an optical film positioned within the cavity.

2. The LCD assembly of claim 1 wherein:
the tape has a thickness which is substantially equal to the thic…
