Abstract
An LCD support bracket formed by a plurality of resilient contilever beams projecting from a support to the lower edge of the LCD panel. The opposite edge of the LCD panel is supported by an elastomeric interconnection member that electrically connects the LCD panel to a circuit board on which the elastomeric interconnection panel is mounted. A cover having a viewing window is placed over the LCD panel to hold the LCD panel in place and to preload the resilient cantilever beams. The upper transparent pane of the LCD panel preferably extends beyond the edge of the lower transparent pane so that the resilient cantilever beams and the elastomeric member compress only the upper pane. As a result, the support bracket does not compress liquid crystal sandwiched between the upper and lower panes.
