    Patent number: 5661364
    Abstract: A construction for an electroluminescent display device comprises an electroluminescent element stack having an outer edge and including a light emitting electroluminescent panel, an electronic circuit board, and a connector electrically coupling the electronic circuit board to the electroluminescent panel. A frame member of generally U-shaped cross-section fits over and compresses the electroluminescent element stack along the outer edge. Additionally, a method of constructing an electroluminescent display device comprises the steps of forming an electroluminescent element stack having a light emitting panel, an electronic circuit board and a connector coupling the electronic circuit board to the electroluminescent panel. The electroluminescent element stack is formed to have an outer edge. A frame member is formed to have generally U-shaped cross-section and resilient arms.
