Abstract
A method for mounting a liquid crystal (LCD) display in a portable computer. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of mounting resilient shock mounts on the edges of the LCD assembly, installing the LCD assembly and shock mounts into a housing, placing a horizontal plate into the housing over the LCD assembly and shock mounts (wherein the horizontal plate covers the shock mounts), and joining the horizontal plate to the housing to form the mounting structure. The shock mounts are compressed during the joining step. The LCD assembly is supported by the forces exerted by the housing and horizontal plate against the shock mounts, and is not directly connected to the housing or the horizontal plate.
