Abstract: A multi-level matrix structure (100) for retaining a support structure within a flat panel display device. In one embodiment, the multi-level matrix structure (100) is comprised of first parallel ridges (102). The multi-level matrix structure (100) further includes second parallel ridges (104). The second parallel ridges (104) are oriented substantially orthogonally with respect to the first parallel ridges (102). In this embodiment, the second parallel ridges (104) have a height which is greater than the height of the first parallel ridges (102). Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second plurality of parallel spaced apart ridges (104) include contact portions (106) for retaining a support structure at a desired location within a flat panel display device. Hence, when a support structure is inserted between at least two of the contact portions (106) of the multi-level support structure (100), the support structure is retained in place, at a desired location within the flat panel display device, by the contact portions (106).
