Abstract
The display module (30) includes at least one liquid crystal cell (2) electrically and mechanically connected to a flexible display control printed circuit (1)having, arranged to a single face, electronic components for controlling the cell and metal paths for connection to the components and to said cell (2). In order to make it, the printed circuit (1) is first placed on the back side of the cell (2), the face of the printed circuit with no components facing the back of the cell (2), the printed circuit (1) is positioned under the cell (2), a mechanism for assembling the module (12) defining the location of the display of the cell (2), being made on the printed circuit (1) for the positioning thereof with respect to a display marking device (13) arranged on the cell and a portion of the face of the printed circuit with no components is secured directly to the back of the cell (2). The assembly mechanism of the printed circuit allows the module to be placed precisely on a complementary mechanism (41) of an apparatus case (40), for example a wristwatch case, accommodating it to have the liquid crystal cell in a determined position in the case.
