Abstract
A channel frame () is disclosed for use with a mobile device display () having an upper substrate () with an upper surface (), a lower substrate () with a lower surface (), and an OLED layer () sealed between the upper substrate () and the lower substrate (). The channel frame () includes an upper wall () having a lower contact surface (), a lower wall () having an upper contact surface (), and a central wall () connected between the upper wall () and the lower wall (). The channel frame () forms an elongated channel having a relaxed state from which the upper wall () and the lower wall () may be flexed to permit the channel frame () to be coupled to a side edge of the display (). When the channel frame () is adhered to a structural component of the mobile device (), it carries the impact forces resulting from dropping the device () and thereby protects the display () from damage.
