The metal mounting frame is coupled to a bezel and aligns an LCD panel between the bezel and the mounting frame. A backlighting assembly which provides illumination for the LCD panel is aligned by the mounting frame and the bezel and is aligned between the mounting frame and a plastic cover panel. The plastic cover panel couples to the bezel to form the outer housing of the LCD assembly. | |
