Abstract

A method for assembling a display device that includes the following successive steps: assembling a screen having a display face with a seal, thereby forming a central assembly; attaching a frame with a lens, thereby forming a front assembly; assembling the central assembly with the front assembly, the seal maintaining a sealed connection between the lens and the screen and forming a spacer maintaining a space between the screen and the lens. The seal includes at least one injection opening having an internal orifice opening into the space and an external orifice adapted to receive an injector tip of a transparent adhesive. The method includes injecting the transparent adhesive into the space via the injection opening.

Claims (17)

1 . A method for assembling a display device, wherein the method comprises the following steps:

assembling a screen comprising a display face with a seal thereby forming a central assembly;

attaching a frame with a lens, thereby forming a front assembly;

assembling the central assembly with the front assembly, the lens being positioned opposite the display face of the screen, the seal maintaining a sealed connection between the lens and the screen and forming a spacer maintaining a space between the screen and the lens, the seal comprising at least one injection opening comprising an internal orifice opening into the space and an external orifice adapted to receive an injector tip of a transparent adhesive, wherein the display device further comprises an injection valve located in proximity to the external orifice of the injection opening, the injection valve being able to allow the passage of fluid only from the external orifice to the internal orifice; and

injecting said transparent adhesive into the space through the injection opening.

2 . The assembly method according to claim 1 , wherein the seal is present over the entire periphery of the screen and creates a seal between the screen and the frame.

3 . The assembly method according to claim 2 , wherein the seal comprises lips over its entire periphery, positioned to be in contact with the screen.

4 . The assembly method according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprising a support column, the seal forming a cylindrical portion surrounding the support column over the entire perimeter of the column, the injection opening being provided in the cylindrical portion.

5 . The assembly method according to claim 1 , wherein the seal further comprises an air vent passing through the seal, the air vent comprising an interior orifice opening onto the space and an exterior orifice.

6 . The assembly method according to claim 5 , further comprising a vent valve located in proximity to the exterior orifice of the air vent, the vent valve being able to allow the passage of fluid only from the interior orifice to the exterior orifice.

7 . The assembly method according to claim 1 , wherein the space is in contact only with the lens, the screen and the seal.

8 . A manufacturing assembly with several recesses each enabling receipt of a display device constructed and assembled according to the assembly method of claim 1 , the manufacturing assembly comprising an injector device enabling the adhesive to be injected into each external orifice of each seal.

9 . A method of manufacturing a plurality of display devices using a manufacturing assembly according to claim 8 , the method comprising the following steps:

positioning several display devices in the manufacturing assembly;

connecting the injector device to each external orifice; and

injecting adhesive into the space of each of the display devices through the external orifice of each seal.

10 . A display device comprising a screen, a frame and a lens, the lens being positioned opposite a display face of the screen, the frame surrounding the screen and the lens being attached to the frame, wherein the display device comprises a seal attached to the frame and to the screen, adapted to maintain a sealed connection between the lens and the screen and forming a spacer to maintain a space between the screen and the lens, the display device comprising at least one injection opening passing through the seal, the injection opening comprising an internal orifice opening into the space and an external orifice adapted to receive a transparent adhesive injector tip, the space being adapted to receive a transparent adhesive, wherein the display device further comprises an injection valve located in proximity to the external orifice of the injection opening, the injection valve being able to allow the passage of fluid only from the external orifice to the internal orifice.
