Abstract
A multi-level matrix structure for frictionally retaining a support structure within a flat panel display device. In one embodiment, the present invention is comprised of a multi-level matrix structure. The multi-level matrix structure of the present embodiment is comprised of a first multi-layered structure disposed on an inner surface of a faceplate of a flat panel display device. The multi-level matrix structure of the present embodiment is further comprised of a plurality of substantially parallel spaced apart ridges. In this embodiment, the plurality of substantially parallel spaced apart ridges overlie the first multi-layered structure. Additionally, in this embodiment, the plurality of substantially parallel spaced apart ridges include contact portions for frictionally retaining a support structure in a first direction at a desired location within the flat panel display device.
