Abstract
An image display device incorporating a screen protection arrangement and method of installing a protector screen on an image display device includes a device housing, a display screen installed in a wall portion of the device housing, a screen frame attached to the device housing so as to overlap peripheral edges of the display screen to define a frame opening bordering the display screen, top and bottom bracket portions provided on top and bottom edges of the screen frame and a protector screen which is attached to the image display device by mating its top and bottom edges with the top and bottom bracket portions. The arrangement results in a gap of less than 3.5 mm between the screen and the screen frame and allows installation of a protector screen to any generic screen frame of an image display device.
