Abstract
A liquid crystal display package including a liquid crystal cell having a die with a pixel array, and a transparent plate attached to the die. A liquid crystal material is disposed in a gap region between the die and the transparent plate. The display assembly further includes a containment structure adapted to couple to and at least partially receive liquid crystal cell therein, and an electrical connector portion integrated with the containment structure. A plurality of conductive contacts are positioned in the containment structure for secured support thereof, and in substantially stress-free electrical connection with the pixel array. The conductive contacts further are configured to releasably couple to mating conductive contacts of an opposed electrical connector.
