Externally mounted display device

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing including at least one recess; and

a display device including a plurality of layers, one of the layers including at least one tab extending perpendicular to a surface of the display device, the layers externally coupling to the housing, the recess receiving the tab toward an interior of the housing, the at least one tab being coupled to at least a portion of a perimeter of the recess, wherein the at least one tab is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein the at least one tab extends parallel to the surface of the display device in the first position and the at least one tab extends in the perpendicular manner in the second position.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the layer including the at least one tab is a touch panel receiving a touch input.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the touch panel is a capacitive touch panel, the capacitive touch panel being a bottom layer of the layers.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the touch panel is a resistive touch panel, the resistive touch panel being a top layer of the layers.

5. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein a further one of the layers is a display layer displaying data to a user.

6. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the touch panel is one of an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film, an Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO) film, and a Polyethelene Terephthalate (PET) layer.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tab is coupled to the at least the portion of the perimeter of the recess using one or more of an adhesive, a weld, and a locking mechanism.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the display device includes an interior surface coupled to a mounting of the housing.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one tab is coupled to an entirety of the perimeter of the recess.

10. A method of externally mounting a display device to an electronic device, comprising:

providing the display device, the display device including a plurality of layers, one of the layers including at least one tab, the at least one tab extending perpendicular to a surface of the display device;

moving the at least one tab from a first position to a second position, the at least one tab extending parallel to the surface of the display device in the first position, and the at least one tab extending in the perpendicular manner in the second position;

externally coupling the layers to a housing of the electronic device including at least one recess, the recess receiving the at least one tab toward an interior of the housing; and

coupling the at least one tab to at least a portion of a perimeter of the recess.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the layer including the at least one tab is a touch panel receiving a touch input.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the touch panel is a resistive touch panel, the resistive touch panel being a top layer of the layers.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the touch panel is a capacitive touch panel, the capacitive touch panel being a bottom layer of the layers.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein a further one of the layers is a display layer displaying data to a user.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the touch panel is one of an Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) film, an Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO) film, and a Polyethelene Terephthalate (PET) layer.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one tab is coupled to the at least the portion of the perimeter of the recess using one or more of an adhesive, a weld, and a locking mechanism.

17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

coupling an interior surface of the display device to a mounting of the housing.

18. A display device, comprising:

a first layer displaying data to a user; and

a second layer being a touch panel receiving a touch input, the second layer including at least one tab extending perpendicular to a surface of the display device, wherein the at least one tab is movable from a first position to a second position, wherein the tab at least one extends parallel to the surface of the display device in the first position and the at least one tab extends in the perpendicular manner in the second position, the layers externally coupling to a housing of an electronic device, a recess of the housing receiving the at least one tab toward an interior of the housing, the at least one tab being coupled to at least a portion of a perimeter of the recess.
