Abstract

A display includes an outer frame defining an circumferential opening in a center, a protective glass accommodated in the opening, an inner frame mounted to the outer frame below the glass, and a liquid crystal display panel mounted to the inner frame. The inner side of the outer frame bounding the opening defines a latching slot to receive sides of the protective glass. The protective glass protects the liquid crystal display panel from being scraped or scratched.

Claims

an outer frame made of thermoplastic polyurethanes material and defining a first opening in a center, wherein inner sides of the outer frame bounding the first opening defining a circumferential first latching slot communicating with the first opening;

a protective glass accommodated in the first opening, with sides of the protective glass engaged in the first latching slot of the outer frame;

a liquid crystal display panel; and

an inner frame defining a second opening in a center to accommodate the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the inner frame with the liquid crystal display panel is accommodated in the first opening of the outer frame, with the protective glass covering the liquid crystal display panel;

wherein the inner sides of the outer frame define a second latching slot to receive the sides of the inner frame; and

wherein an outer side surface of the outer frame adjacent to the first latching slot forms an operating portion to be operated to deform the outer frame, the operating portion is slanted from outer sides towards the inner sides bounding the first opening of the outer frame.
