Claims
- 1. A method for the precision mounting of a first apparatus part of a mobile communication device on a second apparatus part of a mobile communication device, the first apparatus part having irregular edges, and the second apparatus part being provided with first positioning means, and the first apparatus part including one or more components positioned by means of a position reference system, the method comprising the steps of:laying out at least one distinctive mark by means of the position reference system on said first apparatus part in a well-defined geometrical relationship to said one or more components; securing second positioning means on the first apparatus part in a well-defined geometrical relationship to the distinctive mark(s) by means of a positioning system; and mounting the first apparatus part on the second apparatus part by means of said first and second positioning means.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of securing one or more additional components or structural elements on the first apparatus part under control of the positioning system.
- 3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the first apparatus part is a liquid crystal display module including a liquid crystal display with corresponding electronic circuit(s) and electrical connections.
- 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein the distinctive marks are electrical connections.
- 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the positioning system is a vision system.
- 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein the positioning system is the position reference system.
- 7. A method according to claim 1, wherein the first positioning means is provided with receiving openings and the second positioning means of the first apparatus part is provided with at least two protruding members, the method further comprising the step of inserting the protruding members in the receiving openings of the first positioning means.
- 8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the first positioning means is provided with protruding members and the second positioning means of the first apparatus part is provided with at least two apertures which co-operate with the protruding members.
- 9. A method according to claim 1, wherein the second apparatus part is a light guide.
- 10. A method according to claim 1, wherein the second apparatus part is a printed circuit board.
- 11. A method according to claim 1, wherein the second apparatus part is a part of a housing of the apparatus.
- 12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the second apparatus part is a front cover of the apparatus.
- 13. An apparatus part of a mobile communication device comprising:one or more components positioned by means of a position reference system; at least one distinctive mark laid out in a well-defined geometrical relationship to the one or more components by means of the position reference system; and positioning means secured on the apparatus part in a well-defined geometrical relationship to the at least one distinctive mark by means of a positioning system.
- 14. An apparatus part according to claim 13, wherein at least one additional component or other structural is secured to the apparatus part under control of the positioning system.
- 15. An apparatus part according to claim 13, wherein the distinctive marks are electrical connections.
- 16. An apparatus part according to claim 13, wherein the positioning means secured on the apparatus part include means for establishing electrical contact with another apparatus part.
- 17. The apparatus part of claim 16, wherein the means for establishing electrical contact with another apparatus part comprises a receiving slot for accommodating an elastomeric block with a plurality of individually isolated conducting members.
- 18. An apparatus part according to claim 13, wherein the one or more components comprises a liquid crystal display.
- 19. An apparatus part according to claim 18, wherein the one or more components comprises a driver circuit for the liquid crystal display.
