Abstract
Flexing of a display assembly for a flat panel display can be advantageously minimized or eliminated by a stiffener apparatus that is an adhesive backed thin member attached directly to the front or viewing side of the flat panel display device. The stiffener apparatus is also attached to a mounting bracket of the display assembly, or to another portion of the display assembly, in order to provide the desired stiffness. Additionally, should the display device be removed from the assembly for service, another advantage of the stiffener apparatus is that it remains with the display device and can readily be reattached to the mounting bracket or other portion of the display assembly.
