a support chassis having side walls connected to a rear wall which define a recess and constructed from an electrically conductive material, wherein the support chassis has a generally rectangular central portion which tapers to narrower end portions on each side thereof, the recess located in the central portion and surrounded by a border area;
a display module at least partially received within the recess, the display module having a front side and a back side; and
a cover lens attached to the front side of the display module with a bonding material and coupled to the support chassis in a floating mounting arrangement using a flexible adhesive, the flexible adhesive directly attaching the cover lens to the support chassis by substantially surrounding the display module along the border area of the support chassis and overlapping the narrower end portions of the support chassis in a plan view.
