Abstract

A display housing includes a protective lens, a peripheral housing; and a strengthening member. The protective lens defines a latching slit along its perimeter. The strengthening member includes a base portion and a bent portion. One of the peripheral housing and the base portion has a plurality of latches protruding therefrom and the other a plurality of latching holes. The latches are received in the latching holes, the strengthening member is secured in the peripheral housing, and the bent portion is received in the latching slits.

Claims (20)

1. A display housing, comprising:

a protective lens defining a latching slit along the periphery thereof and comprising a first glass layer, an adhesive layer, and a second glass layer, the first glass layer bonded to the second glass layer by the sandwiched adhesive layer, the second glass layer comprising two opposite edges cut to form two opposite inner bevel portions towards the first glass layer;

a peripheral housing; and

a strengthening member comprising a base portion and a bent portion connecting with the base portion;

wherein one of the peripheral housing and the base portion has a plurality of latches protruding therefrom, and the other of the peripheral housing and the base portion defines a plurality of latching holes, the latches engaging the latching holes, the strengthening member secured in the peripheral housing, and the bent portion received in the latching slit.

2. The display housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesive layer is silicon glue, acrylic glue, polyurethane glue, or epoxy resin glue.

3. The display housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base portion comprises an inner surface and an external surface through which the latching holes are spaced and defined, and the bent portion is bent from the base portion towards the inner surface.

4. The display housing as claimed in claim 3 wherein the latching holes and the latches are wedge-shaped.

5. The display housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the strengthening member comprises a flexible enclosed frame, and the peripheral housing is a rigid enclosed frame corresponding to the strengthening member.

6. The display housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the peripheral housing is integrally insert molded with the strengthening member.

7. A display housing, comprising:

a protective lens defining a latching slit along its perimeter and comprising a first glass layer, a second glass layer, and an adhesive layer sandwiched therebetween, the first glass layer overlapping and bonded to the second glass layer by the adhesive laver, the second glass layer comprising edges cut to form an inner bevel portion towards the first glass layer, the latching slit enclosed by the inner bevel portion and the first glass layer;

a peripheral housing; and

a strengthening member comprising a base portion and a bent portion protruding from the base portion, the bent portion being received in the latching slit;

wherein one of the peripheral housing and the base portion comprises a plurality of latches protruding therefrom, the other of the peripheral housing and the base portion defines a plurality of latching holes receiving the latches therein, wherein the interaction of the latching holes and the latches enable the protective lens to be secured by the strengthening member relative to the peripheral housing.

8. The display housing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the adhesive layer is silicon glue, acrylic glue, polyurethane glue, or epoxy resin glue.

9. The display housing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the base portion comprises an inner surface and an external surface through which the latching holes are spaced and defined, and the bent portion is bent from the base portion towards the inner surface.

10. The display housing as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the latching holes and the latches are wedge-shaped.

11. The display housing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the strengthening member comprises a flexible enclosed frame, and the peripheral housing is a rigid enclosed frame corresponding to the strengthening member.

12. The display housing as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the peripheral housing is integrally insert molded with the strengthening member.
