  • Patent number: 7607621
    Abstract: An exemplary flat panel display (2) includes a display module (20), a supporting member (30) attached to the display module, and a base (40) engaged with the supporting member. The supporting member includes engaging members (31), and the base includes elastic arms (411). The engaging members detachably engage with corresponding elastic arms whereby the supporting member is detachably engaged with the base. The base can be detached from the supporting member of the flat panel display whenever desired. Therefore once the flat panel display has been newly manufactured, it can be conveniently wrapped and transported at a reduced cost.

  • Publication number: 20080112119
    Abstract: An exemplary flat panel display (2) includes a front bezel (21), a back cover (22), a display panel (23), and a button circuit board (28). The front bezel and the back cover cooperatively define a space for accommodating the display panel and the button circuit board. The front bezel includes a display window defined therein and a plurality of button devices (212). The button devices and the front bezel are portions of a single piece of molded material. The button devices corresponding to the button circuit board. Because the button devices of the flat panel display are inseparably integrated with the front bezel, the button devices and the front bezel can be fabricated using a single mold, and an individual mold for the button devices is not necessary. Therefore, the flat panel display has a reduced cost and a simplified fabricating process.
