ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a display holder for holding a display and a printed circuit board in relation to each other so that there can be good contact between the display and the printed circuit board.
Holding a display onto a printed circuit board and getting a good contact between the display and the printed circuit board has often caused problems, due to not very good holding means. The frame, used until now for holding the display onto the printed circuit board, is rather rigid and not flexible. It also can cause the display to crack if tensions occur in the printed circuit board due to some physical tension or stress.
Previously a rigid frame has been used, which presses equally on all the edges of the display. Between the frame and the display is a gasket, which is compressed when the frame is mounted to the printed circuit board to hold the display. The pressure on the display from the frame/gasket is the equal everywhere. The tolerance in manufacture of the frame and the printed circuit board is handled by the degree of compressing the gasket.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the invention is to provide a display holder for holding a display in relation to a printed circuit board, enabling a secure contact between a display and a printed circuit board.
According to claimed invention this objective is obtained by a display holder for holding a display in relation to a printed circuit board, where the display holder has means for snapping the display onto the printed circuit board, and that the display holder furthermore includes means for transferring a tension from a snap-connection to a connector part of the display.
An object of the invention is to provide a communication unit provided with a display holder for holding a display in relation to a printed circuit board, enabling a secure contact between a display and a printed circuit board.
