Abstract
A display device comprising a display panel and a display cover plate positioned between the display panel and an observer. The display cover plate is housed within a protective frame (edge bracket) that protects edges of the display cover plate from damage. The edge bracket supports the edge portions of the display cover plate that are most likely to have flaws resulting from such operations as cutting and grinding, and minimizes flexing of the display cover plate, particularly at an edge, which could result in the formation of cracks at the flaw site and propagation of those cracks.
