| 1995 | Invention patented by Tetsuya Kita and Makoto Koizumi on April 10th, 1995. Abstract: An image display device incorporating a screen protection arrangement includes a screen frame mounted so as to peripherally surround a display screen of the device. A protector screen is provided which has a width dimension which is substantially equal to that of the screen frame. The screen protection arrangement further includes an insertion space provided within an upper side of the screen frame for accomodating an upper side of the protector screen and one or more base support portions which may be removably installed along a lower edge of the screen frame in a supporting space defined between an inner side thereof and a facing surface of the display screen. A predermined proportional relationship between width dimensions of the upper insertion space and the lower supporting space are established in consideration of a thickness dimension of the protector screen such that the protector screen may easily be installed or removed from the image display device. In addition, structure of the screen frame allows the vertical dimension of the protector screen to be substantially larger than that of the display screen without hindrance. Thus identical protector screens may be utilized on image display devices of a variety of different makes and models. |
| 1997 | Invention patented by Takayasu Ishikawa, Takashi Kawabe, James R. White, Marla G. Tanimoto, and Jeffrey T. Batt on February 23th, 1997. Abstract: An image display device incorporating a screen protection arrangement and method of installing a protector screen on an image display device includes a device housing, a display screen installed in a wall portion of the device housing, a screen frame attached to the device housing so as to overlap peripheral edges of the display screen to define a frame opening bordering the display screen, top and bottom bracket portions provided on top and bottom edges of the screen frame and a protector screen which is attached to the image display device by mating its top and bottom edges with the top and bottom bracket portions. The arrangement results in a gap of less than 3.5 mm between the screen and the screen frame and allows installation of a protector screen to any generic screen frame of an image display device. |
