ABSTRACT:
An improved system and method for aligning a display device with a substrate member such as a printed circuit board (PCB) having a plurality of electrical conductors thereon to provide reliable electrical contact between the display device and an electrical circuit mounted on the PCB are described. The display, which is preferably a liquid crystal display (LCD) having a plurality of electrically conductive terminals, is mounted in a base member and biased toward one end of the base member by a spring member mounted on the opposite end of the base member. Spacer material having a pattern of conductors formed on a surface thereof is positioned adjacent to the LCD so that the conductors are in electrical contact with the LCD conductors. The base member further includes a plurality of alignment posts extending outwardly therefrom for mating with respective openings in the PCB to position the PCB with respect to the LCD. When the PCB is properly positioned, the electrical conductors of the PCB are in electrical contact with the conductors of the spacer material, thereby effecting electrical contact between the LCD terminals and the electrical circuit.
