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.

18. A rigid LCD assembly comprising:
-
a liquid crystal display (LCD) having a perimeter; a 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; an optical film contained within the cavity; a front thermal plate positioned parallel to the diffusing plate and on the opposite side of the diffusing plate as the LCD; a U-shaped backlight cavity wall placed between the thermal plate and the diffusing plate and comprising; a top ledge which attaches to the diffusing plate with a layer of adhesive, a bottom ledge substantially parallel to the top ledge and attached to the front thermal plate, and a sidewall which connects the top ledge with the bottom ledge. a backlight positioned within the backlight cavity wall; and a rear thermal plate positioned opposite from the front thermal plate to define a gap between the front and rear thermal plates. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
