Liquid Crystal Module Bezel with Interlocking Tabs

The bezel is divided into multiple bezel pieces (typically four) that are linked together to form a rectangular frame. Each bezel piece contains linking tabs at its ends that interlock with adjacent pieces, creating a segmented structure that achieves sufficient strength through the collective arrangement rather than requiring each piece to be individually thick and heavy.

The linking tabs are designed with a nested structure where tabs from adjacent bezel pieces interlock and fit within each other's space. The tabs protrude from the ends of bezel pieces and are positioned to overlap with tabs from neighboring pieces, creating a compact interlocking arrangement that maximizes strength within limited protruding distance while accommodating necessary mounting holes.

The linking tabs are pre-formed with adequate strength characteristics before assembly. The tabs are designed with appropriate thickness, length, and structural features that provide inherent strength to resist deformation during assembly and use. This preliminary design ensures that when the bezel pieces are linked together, the tabs maintain their shape and the overall bezel structure remains stable without requiring additional reinforcement.

The design distinguishes between different regions of the bezel: the visible front portions of the bezel pieces are designed with smooth, aesthetically pleasing surfaces, while the linking tabs at the ends are designed for functional interlocking. The linking tabs are positioned at the rear or side edges where they are less visible, allowing their structural function to be optimized without compromising the overall aesthetic appearance of the assembled rectangular frame.
