I haven't had to do that, but have mounted the 0.96 and 1.3 inch displays on standoffs (2.5mm works well).? If the 0.91 display is behind plastic, then I'd 3D print a small holder to back it up. I'd solder the display into a small PC board which would have holes for the spacer plastic.? Mounting holes are available in your design.? 3D printing here can be your friend.

Has anyone found an easy way to fit these displays to a panel?? They are small, simple to use and provide a good size display, but have no mounting holes and there is only about 3mm at either end of the glass for adhesive pads - which probably would not last long.? I have not seen one installed in consumer goods to see how they are held in place - maybe dropped into a moulded cavity with hot melt glue to secure?? The components on the back panel preclude a rigid plate.? I have thought about soldering pre-drilled tabs on to the back of the display, but the OLED is fragile, and I would like it to be easy to replace when/if it fails.? (I have been using 128 x 64 versions for years, and have just had to replace one).
The best I have come up with so far is a packing shim round the glass display and a plain pressure panel with resilient foam on the back to hold it in place with screws through both and the front panel, but the shim will be fiddly to make.? Panel thickness will be 1-2mm for different jobs.
I have found only one manufacturer of a bezel, but it is huge and would dominate the planned front panels.
Any ideas welcome.
