Abstract
Description
- 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.
- 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.
- According to the claimed invention a communication unit provided with a display holder for holding a display in relation to a printed circuit board obtains this objective, 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.
- The invention will be explained more fully below, by way of example, in connection with preferred embodiments and with reference to the drawing, in which:
- FIGS.1-2 shows in a perspective view a preferred embodiment of the communication unit according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows the essential parts of a telephone for communication with a cellular network.
- FIG. 4 shows display assembly parts, not assembled.
- FIG. 5 shows the surface of an assembled frame facing the printed circuit board.
- FIG. 6 shows a section of a display holder mounted on a printed circuit board.
- FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the display holder.
- FIG. 8 shows a schematic view of an elastomer connector.
- FIG. 9 shows an assembled frame placed on a printed circuit board.
- FIG. 10 shows a display holder holding a display and a printed circuit board in relation to each other.
- FIG. 11 shows a printed circuit board with a display holder holding a display and in relation to a printed circuit board from another view.
- According to a first aspect the display holder according to the invention will be described with reference to a hand portable phone, preferably a cellular/mobile phone. A preferred embodiment of this phone is shown in FIG. 1, where a phone is shown in perspective. In FIG. 2 is the phone shown for another perspective. As will be seen, the phone is provided with a
front cover 2 having awindow frame 3 encircling the protection window of thedisplay assembly 1. The phone comprises a user interface having an on/offbutton 4, a keyboard/keypad 7, a battery, a display/LCD 1, an ear-piece 21 and a microphone 22 (not shown). - The
keypad 7 has a first group ofkeys 13 as alphanumeric keys, by means of which the user can enter a telephone number, write a text message (SMS), write a name (associated with the phone number), etc. Each of the twelvealphanumeric keys 13 is provided with a figure “0-9” or a sign “#” or “*”, respectively. In alpha mode each key is associated with a number of letters and special signs used in the text editing. - The
keypad 2 additionally comprises twosoft keys 8, twocall handling keys 12, and anavigation key 10. The functionality of the soft key depends on the state of the phone and the navigation in the menu by using a navigation key. The present functionality of thesoft keys 8 is shown in separate fields in thedisplay 1 just above thekeys 8. The twocall handling keys 12 are used for establishing a call or a conference call, terminating a call or rejecting an incoming call. - The
navigation key 10 is an up/down key and is placed centrally on the front surface of the phone between thedisplay 3 and the group ofalphanumeric keys 8. Hereby the user will be able to control this key with his thumb. This is the best site to place an input key requiring precise motor movements. Many experienced phone users are used to one-hand handling. They place the phone in the hand between the fingertips and the palm of the hand. Hereby the thumb is free for inputting information. - FIG. 3 schematically shows the most important parts of a preferred embodiment of the phone, said parts being essential to the understanding of the invention. The
microphone 22 records the user's speech, and the analogue signals formed thereby are A/D converted in an A/D converter (not shown) before the speech is encoded in anaudio part 20. The encoded speech signal is transferred to the controller 18 (physical layer processor), which e.g. supports the GSM terminal software. Thecontroller 18 also forms the interface to the peripheral units of the apparatus, including RAM andROM memories SIM card 16, thedisplay 1 and the keypad 7 (from FIG. 1) as well as data, power supply, etc. Thecontroller 18 communicates with the transmitter/receiver circuit 19. Theaudio part 20 speech-decodes the signal, which is transferred from thecontroller 18 to the ear-piece 21 via a D/A converter (not shown). - The preferred embodiment of the phone of the invention is adapted for use in connection with the GSM network, but, of course, the invention may also be applied in connection with other phone networks. It could be cellular networks, various forms of cordless phone systems or in dual band phones accessing sets of these systems/networks.
- The
controller 18 is connected to the user interface. Thus, it is thecontroller 18, which monitors the activity in the phone and controls thedisplay 1 in response thereto. - Therefore, it is the
controller 18, which detects the occurrence of a state change event and changes the state of the phone and thus the display text. The user may cause a state change event, when he/she activates thekeypad 7 including the navigation key orkeys 10, and these type of events are called entry events or user events. However, the network communicating with the phone may also cause a state change event. These type of events and other events beyond the user's control are called non-user events. Non user events comprise status change during call set-up, change in battery voltage, change in antenna conditions, message on reception of SMS, etc. - An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIGS.3 to 11 showing the various features of a display holder. In the shown embodiment the display holder will be holding a liquid crystal display in relation to a printed circuit board.
- In FIG. 4 a
display holder 30 is shown including abeam 31 having aU-shaped plane 32. Thebeam 31 has an extractedsection 33 vertical to theU-shaped plane 32 to be able to transfer a tension from a snap-connection 34 to aconnector part 35 of thedisplay 36 and the printed circuit board 60 (see FIG. 9) in the direction to transfer the tension without bending. If thedisplay holder 30 had the same design and the tension had been parallel to theU-shaped plane 32 thedisplay holder 30 should bend due to tension, and not be able to transfer a tension to theconnector part 35. - The
beam 31 includes three supportingpoints flanges flanges display 36 and the printedcircuit board 60 to establish a connection, while the supportingpoints display 36 and aframe 42 whereon thedisplay 36 is mounted. Theframe 42 houses a light guide. By having some distance between thebeam 31 and the display 36 (see FIG. 6), except for the supportingpoints display 36 will be more flexible and will better adjust to external forces without cracking or jeopardising the connection between thedisplay 36 and the printedcircuit board 60. The distance also enables thedisplay 36 to move independently from theframe 42. - As mentioned earlier the
beam 31 has aU-shaped plane 32 with an extractedsection 33 from saidplane 32. Thebeam 31 has a supportingpoint light guide 42 and asnap flange outer parts beam 31, and a supportingpoint 39 to theconnector part 35 on the middle part of thebeam 31. The supportingpoint 39 to theconnector part 35 projects from thebeam 31. Thebeam 31 is in this embodiment made of metal, but could obviously be made of any other material having the same characteristic using the same design. These materials could e.g. be wood or plastic. - In FIG. 7 are shown the
outer parts beam 31 that include attachingarrangements display holder 30 to theframe 42 whereon thedisplay 36 is mounted. These attachingarrangements - The connection between the
display 36 and the printedcircuit board 60 is in aconnector part 35, where each of them connects to ajoint elastomer connector 47, (see FIG. 9). The elastomer connector 47 (see FIG. 8) comprise a number oflaminated elastomer parts 48, a number of laminated metal-foil parts 49 andcontacts pads 50, wherelaminated parts elastomer connector 47 is square having a laminated metal-foil part 49 between everylaminated elastomer part 48. Both the metal-foil parts 49 and thelaminated elastomer parts 48 has as mentioned above the same area so that one laminated metal-foil part 49 does not get in contact with the next laminated elastomer part, but having alaminated elastomer part 48 in between. On the surfaces of theelastomer connector 47 facing theconnector parts 35 of thedisplay 36 and the printedcircuit board 60, are mountedcontact pads 50 to connect to thedisplay 36 and the printedcircuit board 60. Thecontact pads 50 on each side of theelastomer connector 47 are connected to each other with the laminated metal-foil parts 49. - The
elastomer connector 47 will be compressed when thedisplay holder 31 is put into its place holding thedisplay 36 in relation to the printedcircuit board 60. The metal-foils 49 will bend, but still be contacted to each of theconnector parts 35 on thedisplay 36 and the printedcircuit board 60. A reliable and flexible contact has been created. - This short example (see FIGS. 4, 9,10 and 11) will describe how the
display holder 31 is used to transfer a tension to theconnector part 35 of adisplay 36 and a printedcircuit board 60. The first step is to mount adisplay 36 onto aframe 42, e.g. light guide, whereafter thedisplay holder 31 is fastened to theframe 42 with thehooks display holder 30 will be placed on a printed circuit board 60 (see FIG. 9), whereafter the assembledframe 51 will be pressed against the printedcircuit board 60, and theelastomer connector 47 will be compressed. The snappingflanges display holder 30 will be snapped over the printedcircuit board 60 to finalise the mounting (see FIG. 10 and 11). Thedisplay holder 30 has created a tension in theconnector part 35. - The invention is not limited to the above described examples or to the drawings showing examples of an embodiment, but can be varied within the scope of the appended claims:
