A method of fabricating a support structure (118). In one embodiment, the method is comprised of providing a mold (220). The mold (220) is for defining the physical dimension of the support structure. The mold (220) is disposed upon a substrate surface (210). In one embodiment, the method is further comprised of depositing a powder (230) into the mold (220). The present method is further comprised of compacting the powder (230) deposited in the mold (220). The compacting forms the support structure (118). In one embodiment, the method is further comprised of removing the mold (220) from the substrate surface (210) upon which it is disposed. The removal of the mold (220) exposes the support structure (118). The fabricated support structure (118) is then implementable during assembly of a display device (100). In one embodiment, the powder (230) deposited in the mold (220) is a metal powder (230).
