1. A protective glass assembly comprising:
- a liquid crystal display layer having a top surface defining a top perimeter and side walls defining a side perimeter;
a frame comprising;
a first portion extending horizontally directly atop at least a portion of the top surface; and
a second portion extending vertically directly along at least a portion of the side perimeter;
a layer of adhesive placed on the top surface, within the top perimeter, and within the frame; and
a glass component having a lower surface, the glass component positioned atop the layer of adhesive such that the layer of adhesive is interposed between the top surface of the liquid crystal display layer and the lower surface of the glass component and directly abuts the first portion of the frame.

Abstract
A frame for bonding a first glass component to a second glass component with a desired thickness of adhesive is disclosed. The frame has a horizontal top portion sized to overlap the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion has a distal surface which is configured to contain the adhesive when poured on the top surface of the first glass component. The horizontal top portion is thicker than the layer of adhesive to be used so that the second glass component may be placed within the frame to abut the distal surface. The frame also has a vertical side portion which extends downward from the horizontal top portion and is sized to wrap around the first perimeter.

8. A protective glass assembly for a liquid crystal display (LCD) having a top surface defining a top perimeter and side walls defining a side perimeter, the protective glass assembly comprising:
-
a frame defining an opening and comprising; a first portion extending directly atop a portion of the top surface and about the entire top perimeter of the LCD; and a second portion extending vertically directly along a portion of each of the side walls and about the entire side perimeter of the LCD; a layer of optical adhesive placed atop the top surface of the LCD and within the opening, wherein said frame is configured to receive and contain said layer of optical adhesive; and a front glass component placed atop the layer of optical adhesive so as to interpose the adhesive between the LCD and the front glass component; wherein the layer of optical adhesive directly and continuously abuts the first portion of the frame when said layer of optical adhesive is interposed between the LCD and the front glass component. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
