A display apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a display panel, a light guiding plate that emits light, the light being derived from a light source, through a front surface of the light guiding plate toward a rear surface of the display panel, a spacer that forms a void between the display panel and the light guiding plate, and an optical sheet disposed at the void, the optical sheet having a surface to face the rear surface of the display panel and a surface to face the front surface of the light guiding plate. In the display apparatus, the spacer is formed using a shape memory alloy. In the display apparatus, the spacer includes a panel attachment part having a plate shape attached to a peripheral part of the rear surface of the display panel so as to be disposed along the display panel, and a light guiding plate attachment part attached to a peripheral part of the front surface of the light guiding plate or a peripheral part of the rear surface of the light guiding plate.

Display apparatus with spacer and method of manufacture of display apparatus with spacer

Provided is a display apparatus, in which a liquid crystal panel and a light guide plateincluded in a backlight is integrated with a space held by the spacers, an optical sheet laminateis arranged in the space between the liquid crystal panel and the light guide plate, being positioned by sheet positioning members, and an end of the optical sheet laminateis arranged between a liquid crystal panel attaching portionof the spacerand the light guide plate, so that a region exclusively occupied by the optical sheet laminateon the light guide plateis small, allowing a slim bezel of the display apparatus. Also provided is a method of manufacturing the display apparatus, including a first process in which the sheet positioning membersare attached on four corners of the light guide plate, a second process in which the optical sheet laminateis placed on the light guide plate, a third process in which the spacersare attached between the sheet positioning members, and a fourth process in which the liquid crystal panel is attached to the spacers

Display apparatus and method of manufacturing the display apparatus

An example display apparatus, comprising a display panel with one surface on which an image is displayed, a light guide plate disposed to face the other surface of the display panel, an optical sheet interposed between the display panel and the light guide plate, and a spacer which is sandwiched between the display panel and the light guide plate to secure a space for the optical sheet, wherein the spacer is adhered to the light guide plate and the display panel.
