US Patent 7365811 Display housing with a display alignment device

Alignment of an imaging area of a display with a user's eye provides optimum image quality for the user. Typically, a display is formed of a display panel encased within a carrier. The carrier is used to mechanically align the display panel within a device housing. However, the display panel must first be aligned within the carrier and the carrier and display combination aligned within a device housing. By utilizing the display panel without the carrier, one alignment step is removed from the installation process. Placing the display panel within a housing having an alignment device ensures proper alignment of an imaging area of the display panel with an opening of the housing.
