COMPACT DESIGN FOR HANDHELD COMPUTING DEVICE HAVING LCD DISPLAY

摘要

A handheld computing device includes a system motherboard, and a display mounted to the motherboard. The motherboard includes a region devoid of electronic circuitry. The display comprises a display panel, and a circuit board carrying display electronics for the display panel. The display electronics are disposed within a common area on the circuit board. The display electronics are aligned with the region and extend from the common area into the removed area. The display electronics and the electronic circuitry on the motherboard are separated by a small gap that permits the display to move relative to the motherboard when the handheld computing device is subjected to an impact.
