ABSTRACT:
A spacer (60) for spacing the screen of a flat panel display from the backplate of the display comprises an extrusion (62) formed from a dielectric inorganic material for supporting the screen relative to the back plate, and a layer (64) of attachment material located at one end of the extrusion (62) for attaching the extrusion (62) to the backplate of the display. The spacer (60) has a cross-shaped cross section providing increased stability, without a significant increase in visibility.
