Abstract

The assembly mechanism utilized to combine a display unit and a circuit unit comprises a front shell a rear shell and a combination member wherein the combination member placed between the front shell and the rear shell comprises a first surface with a first connecting portion and a second surface with a second portion. The display unit is placed between the front shell and the first surface whereby the display unit is fastened. The circuit unit is placed between the rear shell and the second surface whereby the circuit unit is fastened.

Claims
