A display device includes a display panel, and a supporting unit that supports the display panel, the supporting unit having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion that are arranged relative to each other, the first portion protruding toward the display panel relative to the second portion, the second portion protruding toward the display panel relative to the third portion, the second portion of the supporting unit having at least one projection that protrude away from the display panel relative to the second portion, the at least one projection being configured and arranged to support a member of the display device at a rear of the supporting unit.

Display device and television apparatus

A display device includes a display panel, and a supporting unit that supports the display panel, the supporting unit having a first protruding portion within a predetermined distance from a center portion of the display panel, the first protruding portion having an overall rectangular shape with a step part at at least one corner of the overall rectangular shape.

A display device comprises a display panel, a light source, an optical member, and a frame. The optical member reflects light from the light source towards the display panel. The frame has a protruding portion that supports the optical member and is disposed near a periphery of the display panel.

A display device includes a light source, a reflection sheet, a display panel, and a supporting unit. The reflection sheet reflects light from the light source. The supporting unit supports the reflection sheet. The supporting unit has a first protruding portion that contacts with a first area of a rear facing surface of the reflection sheet within a predetermined distance from a center portion of the reflection sheet, a second protruding portion that contacts with a second area of the rear facing surface of the reflection sheet that is spaced apart from the first area and a third protruding portion that contacts with a third area of the rear facing surface of the reflection sheet that is spaced apart from the first and second areas, the third area being located between the first and second areas.

A display device includes a display panel, a light source, a reflection sheet, and a supporting unit. The supporting unit has a first protruding portion that contacts with a first area of a rear facing surface of the reflection sheet, a second protruding portion that contacts with a second area of the rear facing surface, a third protruding portion that contacts with a third area of the rear facing surface and a fourth protruding portion that contacts with a fourth area of the rear facing surface. The first, second, third and fourth areas are spaced apart from a center portion of the reflection sheet. The first and second areas are spaced apart from each other in a first direction. The third and fourth areas are spaced apart from each other in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

A display device comprises a light source, an optical member, a display panel, and a frame. The frame supports the display panel. The frame has a first protruding portion that contacts with an area of a rear facing surface of the optical member within a predetermined distance from a center portion of the optical member. The first protruding portion has an overall rectangular shape with a step part at at least one corner of the overall rectangular shape.

A display device includes a light source, a reflection sheet, a display panel and a display panel supporting member. The display panel supporting member is disposed on a back side of the display device relative to the reflection sheet. A part of a back surface of the display panel supporting member disposed on the back side of the display device relative to the reflection sheet forms a rear chassis. The display panel supporting member has a first recessed portion that is recessed toward the reflection sheet such that the first recessed portion presses an inner area of a back surface of the reflection sheet except for a vicinity of an outer peripheral portion of the back surface of the reflection sheet.

A display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel and a backlight unit that emits light toward the back surface of the liquid crystal panel. The backlight unit includes: an LED; a wiring substrate having the LED mounted thereon; a light guide plate which light from the LED enters through a side surface and exits through a main surface toward the back surface of the liquid crystal panel; and a support component including a first support member that supports the LED and a second support member that supports the light guide plate. The support component is able to move between a first position at which the first support member supports the LED and the second support member supports the light guide plate and a second position at which the first support member is apart from the LED and the second support member supports the light guide plate.

Display apparatus and optical axis adjustment method thereof

This display module includes a display cell, a board, a light guide plate formed with a first engaging portion, and a holding member formed with a second engaging portion coming into contact with the first engaging portion to engage with the first engaging portion. At least either the first engaging portion or the second engaging portion is formed in a shape allowing the light guide plate to move in a direction orthogonal to the board in response to expansion or contraction of the light guide plate when the light guide plate expands or contracts.

Display module, display device, and liquid crystal television set

A display device includes a display component, a light source, a light guide plate, a spacer member, and a biasing member. The display component displays images. The light source emits light. The light guide plate guides the light emitted from the light source to the display component. The light guide plate has a light incident face on which the light emitted from the light source is directly incident. The spacer member is disposed in a region other than where the light guide plate and the light source are opposite each other such that the spacer member maintains a specific spacing between the light source and the light incident face of the light guide plate. The biasing member is arranged to bias one of the light source and the light guide plate towards the other of the light source and the light guide plate.
