A metal layer 18 is sandwiched between insulating layers 14 and 20 so that required strength is maintained. The damper includes an outer cover, a hub, and a carrier assembly coupled to the hub. In an exemplary embodiment, the distal most electrical contact on the proximal end portion of the lead may have a flange or shoulder that is adapted to engage the distal electrical contact of the female connection section of a lead extension or connector block. The display device further includes a second transparent conductive layer, a first alignment layer, a liquid crystal layer, a second alignment layer, a thin film transistor panel, and a polarizer all stacked on each other in sequence along a direction from the first surface to the second surface of the common substrate.
