Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a monitor assembly for IFE systems. The monitor assembly comprises a screen assembly, a frame element that surrounds a perimeter of the screen or substantial portions thereof, and a cradle that is positioned behind the screen and at least partially encapsulates the frame element. The frame element is preferably made of a material that breaks more easily than the cradle material such that, upon an impact, the frame will break apart to absorb kinetic energy, while the cradle will remain intact and contain the broken frame pieces.
