Abstract

A handheld computing device includes a system motherboard, and a display mounted to the motherboard. The motherboard includes a region devoid of electronic circuitry.
The display comprises a display panel, and a circuit board carrying display electronics for the display panel.
The display electronics are disposed within a common area on the circuit board. The display electronics are aligned with the region and extend from the common area into the removed area.
The display electronics and the electronic circuitry on the motherboard are separated by a small gap that permits the display to move relative to the motherboard when the handheld computing device is subjected to an impact.

Claims (14)

1. A handheld computing device comprising:
a system motherboard including a region devoid of electronic circuitry; and a display mounted to the motherboard, the display comprising a display panel and a circuit board carrying display electronics for the display panel, the display electronics being disposed within a common area of the circuit board, the display electronics being aligned with the region and extending from the common area into the removed area, the display electronics and the electronic circuitry on the motherboard being separated by a small gap that permits the display to move relative to the motherboard when the handheld computing device is subjected to an impact.
2. The handheld computing device according to claim 1, wherein the region comprises an aperture that extends through the motherboard.
3. The handheld computing device according to claim 1, wherein the region comprises a recessed area having a depth sufficient to accommodate the display electronics therein.
4. The handheld computing device according to claim 3, wherein the display has a maximum thickness that is between one and ten times an average depth of the recessed area.
5. The handheld computing device according to claim 2 or 3, further including an adhesive layer disposed between the system motherboard and the display and securing the display to the motherboard.
6. The handheld computing device according to claim 5, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a resilient adhesive layer, the resilient adhesive layer and the gap facilitating said display movement.
7. The handheld computing device according to claim 6, wherein the handheld computing device is a wireless communications device.
8. A display for mounting to a motherboard of a handheld computing device, the motherboard including a region devoid of electronic circuitry, the display comprising:
a display panel;
a circuit board carrying display electronics for the display panel, the display electronics being disposed within a common area on the circuit board, the common area having a size less than the region; and a support frame securing the display panel to the circuit board, when the display is mounted to the motherboard the display electronics extending from the common area into the region, and the support frame providing a small gap between the display and motherboard that permits the display to move relative to the motherboard when the handheld computing device is subjected to an impact.
9. The display according to claim 8, wherein the region comprises an aperture that extends through the motherboard.
10. The display according to claim 8, wherein the region comprises a recessed area, and the display electronics has a thickness less than a depth of the recessed area.
11. The display according to claim 10, wherein the display has a maximum thickness that is between one and ten times an average depth of the recessed area.
12. The display according to claim 9 or 10, further including an adhesive layer secured to the support frame for mounting the display to the motherboard.
13. The display according to claim 12, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a resilient adhesive layer, the resilient adhesive layer and the gap facilitating said display movement.
14 14. The display according to claim 9 or 10, wherein the gap is 0.6 mm.
