Abstract
A liquid crystal display (LCD) assembly (200) includes an LCD (100), a registration member (206) attached to the LCD and a connector (202). The connector defines a slot (208) sized to receive the edge (106) of the LCD and a channel (204) positioned to receive the registration member. In one embodiment, the registration member is an inactive electrical component placed on the surface of the LCD solely to provide registration for the connector. The electrical component is very inexpensive and greatly reduces the opportunity for misalignment.
