DETAILED DESCRIPTION
From FIG. 4, The prior art of poly display unit (40) has the inner level (41) which have the certain thickness and all prior arts use the glue, chemical solvent on the clipper mean's surface (43) to fix the clipper means (44) on the edge of the poly display area (42). However, the clipper means need to be very rigid, durable so can overcome the environment impact strength, so the material preferable to use the Polycarbonate (hereafter as PC) or will be very easily break while twisted the display unit at any time. It is very difficult to glue the PC and Poly material together and can pass the related bending, torque weight testament so the prior art is very weak for quality.
From FIG. 5, The other prior art use the “Reverse T” shape connector (51) to glue the connector's contour (54) to the below of the area (55). The clipper means as (52) which can hold the lamp holder's neck. However, The clipper-means still need PC so can have enough durable quality. Hence, this prior art still is bad because difficult to use glue or solvent to fix the clipper means on the bottom. This is more badly prior art's embodiment because all weight of the lamp holder will fall to clipper means.
