Abstract
A display assembly for a portable module is disclosed. The display assembly has a housing that includes a base portion and a continuous side portion extending from the base portion to define an interior compartment. The assembly further includes a resilient body positioned in the interior compartment of the housing, the resilient body having a base portion and a continuous side portion extending from the base portion to define an interior channel. A display is positioned in the interior channel of the resilient body and the display and the resilient body are then positioned in the interior compartment of the housing. A sealing gasket is positioned between the top surface of the display and the cover plate, the sealing gasket overlapping a portion of the surface of the display. When the cover plate is coupled to the housing, the sealing gasket creates a tight seal between the display and the sealing gasket to inhibit the penetration of foreign matter into the interior compartment of the housing and the expansion gap in the cover plate accommodates the expansion of the sealing gasket.
