An LED alphanumeric display can be built upon a printed circuit board that will serve as a substrate for the display and its associated circuitry. For purposes of interconnection, leads for power and intelligence can be brought out from one side of the board for insertion in a socket, another board, or some other receptacle.
To protect the display and its associated circuitry and hardware, the board can be encapsulated with epoxy. However, to hold and position the display during the encapsulation process, it would be helpful to provide a means for physically supporting the display circuit board.
