Mechanics
Physical Design and Mounting.
Handling, interchangeability, or pressure on the display glass are some mechanical factors that must be finely balanced in the design of a display system. Depending on the display type and requirements such as quantity and space, various solutions have proven effective: from sheet metal with drilled eyelets, guides, retaining latches to double-sided adhesive tapes.

Mounting Options
Some options for securely mounting displays.
Sheet Metal
Sheet metal is more suitable for small quantities. A prerequisite is sufficient space to fit the sheet metal. For example, with standard TFT displays without an additional cover lens.
Adhesive Tapes
Double-sided adhesive tapes can be attached to the rear side of the front panel. The possible I-, L-, and O-shape designs differ in terms of waste, sealing, and cost.
Guides
If guides or retaining latches are used, all forces must rest on the frame. No pressure may be exerted on the display glass.
Frame
For larger LCDs with zebra conductive rubber, a metal frame is necessary. For smaller ones, plastic is sufficient. It ensures the prescribed compression of the conductive rubbers between the glass and contacts on the circuit board.
Snap-in Lugs
Snap-in lugs or screw holes are integrated into the case to secure displays with glass and backlight. For FPC or Heatseal, the glass is glued onto a base, or the housing front is equipped with snap-in lugs for clipping in.
Soldering
For simple glasses with metal pins, it is sufficient to solder in the display.
