Electronic device display
An electronic device can include a base portion and a display portion rotatably mounted to the base portion. The display portion can have a display housing including a trim that at least partially defines an orifice and a portion of the exterior surface of the electronic device. A display call can be positioned at the orifice in contact with the trim and can be secured to the display housing.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display cell;
a housing comprising a sidewall that defines a channel;
a trim disposed inside the channel, the trim at least partially defining an orifice and a portion of an exterior surface of the electronic device; and
a datum positioned on the sidewall adjacent to and laterally inward of a trim portion positioned at least partially below the display cell, the datum being secured to the housing, the datum being in contact with the display cell, and the datum defining a gap between an edge of the display cell and a wall of the trim.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the datum comprises a protrusion integrally formed as part of a surface of the sidewall.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the datum comprises a shim component discrete from the sidewall.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the housing defines an internal volume; and
a portion of the datum overhangs the internal volume.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the datum comprises a top surface in contact with the display cell, the top surface being raised above the trim portion.
6. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive layer positioned on a portion of the sidewall outside of the channel, the adhesive layer being in contact with the display cell.
7. The electronic device of claim 6 , wherein the adhesive layer is positioned laterally between the datum and the trim.
8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display cell is raised above and out of contact with the trim portion.
9. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing comprising a sidewall that defines an internal volume and a channel laterally outward of the internal volume;
a backlight disposed in the internal volume;
a display layer positioned above the backlight and extending laterally above the sidewall;
a trim disposed inside the channel; and
a shim attached to a surface of the sidewall adjacent to and laterally inward of a portion of the trim positioned at least partially below the display layer, the shim being secured to the housing, the shim being in contact with the display layer, and the shim defining a gap between an edge of the display cell and a wall of the trim.
10. The electronic device of claim 9 , further comprising an adhesive layer adhered to the surface of the sidewall, the adhesive layer comprising a thickness equivalent to a shim thickness of the shim.
11. The electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the shim is positioned laterally inward of the adhesive layer, the shim being separated from the adhesive layer.
12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein an entirety of a top surface of the shim is in contact with the display layer.
13. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein a portion of the shim is suspended above the backlight in an overlapping manner.
14. An electronic device, comprising:
a display cell comprising a transparent cover;
a housing comprising a sidewall that defines a channel;
a trim disposed inside the channel;
a display datum positioned on the sidewall adjacent to and laterally inward of a trim portion positioned at least partially below the display cell, the display datum being secured to the housing, the display datum being in contact with the display cell, and the display datum defining a gap between an edge of the display cell and a wall of the trim; and
a fixture datum positioned on the sidewall adjacent to and laterally outward of the trim.
15. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the fixture datum is positioned below a top-most portion of the trim.
16. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein a top surface of the display cell and the fixture datum define contact surfaces configured to contact a fixture.
17. The electronic device of claim 16 , wherein the top surface of the display cell comprises a removable adhesive configured to adhere to the fixture.
18. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the fixture datum is aligned with a top surface of the display cell.
19. The electronic device of claim 14 , wherein the display datum comprises a mounting surface on the trim portion.
20. The electronic device of claim 19 , further comprising an adhesive layer positioned on the sidewall, the adhesive layer being co-planar with the mounting surface.
