Device for positioning and securing a display element and display device
View Patent ↗A positioning and securing device positions and secures a display element with respect to a housing, the display element being substantially located in a main extension plane and abutting the housing in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane. The positioning and securing device is substantially located in another main extension plane parallel to the main extension plane of the display element. The positioning and securing device includes at least one first compression element abutting the display element and also at least one second compression element abutting the housing. A display device of an automobile can include the positioning and securing device.
1. A device for positioning and securing a display element with respect to a housing and an electronic printed circuit board, the display element being essentially localized in one main extension plane and abutting with the housing in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane, the positioning and securing device being essentially localized in another main extension plane parallel to the main extension plane of the display element, wherein the positioning and securing device comprises at least one first compression element abutting against a rear side of the display element, as well as at least one second compression element abutting against an upper side of the electronic printed circuit board;
wherein the positioning and securing device is made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the first compression element and the second compression element are connected to one another in the manner of a leaf spring, wherein a plurality of first compression elements and one second compression element are connected in the manner of a meander in the form of a folded spring clip.
2. The positioning and securing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning and securing device forms a frame.
3. The positioning and securing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning and securing device is provided as a rectangular frame.
4. The positioning and securing device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display element abuts with a diaphragm of the housing in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane.
5. A display device, in particular for an automobile, wherein the display device comprises a positioning and securing device as claimed in claim 1 , and the display device comprises a display element and a housing and an electronic printed circuit board.
6. The display device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the display element comprises at least one electroluminescent element of the thin-film transistor type or a liquid-crystal electroluminescent element.
