A display module (100) includes a light pipe (140), a liquid crystal display (LCD) module (130), a lens cover (110), and a gasket (120), which are mated together to form a sealed assembly. The LCD module (130) and gasket (120) are captured between the lens cover(110) and light pipe (140), such that the gasket (120) provides a seal between the lens cover (110) and the LCD module (130). Preferably, the gasket (120) has at least one integrally formed button (122) that protrudes through a buttonhole (112) on the lens cover (110) to provide for external actuation of a switch (152) within the display module assembly (100).

A shield (100) having a detachable grasp support member (140) is provided. The shield (100) includes a hollowed frame (110) having first and second surfaces (112, 114), and a cavity (130) extending from the first surface (112) to the second surface (114). A detachable grasp support member (140) is attached to the hollowed frame (110) and extends across at least a portion of the cavity (130). A second shield member (160) mounts onto the frame (110) and covers the cavity (130) along the first surface (112) to complete the shield (100).

An electronic assembly (100) includes a first circuit board (120) which houses electronic components (122), a second circuit board (140) being three-dimensional and having integral members (143) to receive and position the first circuit board (120), and an electrical connector (130) between the first circuit board (120) and the second circuit board (140).

Electronic assembly incorporating a three-dimensional circuit board

A method for attaching a shield (102) to a an electronic assembly (116) having a heat sink (110) includes applying solder on the inner walls (104) of the shield (102). Next, the shield (102) is placed over the electronic assembly (116) such that the electronic assembly (116) is covered by the shield (102) and the shield (102) is in mechanical contact with the heat sink (110). Then, the shield (102) and heat sink (110) are heated so that the solder on the inner walls (104) of shield (102) flows and solders the shield (102) to the heat sink (110).

Method for attaching a shield

A process for fabricating an electromagnetic shield for a display provides for a sheet upon which a metal mesh pattern and a border surrounding the metal mesh pattern is photo-chemically etched on the sheet. In addition, a portable radio having an electromagnetic shielded display provides for a bordered metal mesh disposed between a cover and a display.
