A stand on which a flat panel display main body is placed has low-pitched sound speakers built therein and a speaker of the flat panel display main body and the low-pitched sound speakers of the stand are combined together to construct a powerful sound system with large sound volume. The low-pitched sound speakers are located at the back side of the flat panel display main body when the flat panel display main body is placed on the stand. In a flat panel display apparatus composed of the flat panel display main body having the speaker built therein and the stand supporting this flat panel display main body thereon, it is possible to easily realize a powerful sound system using the low-pitched sound speakers (woofers) without requiring any extra space.

The present invention provides a symbol illumination apparatus configured to have a symbol such as characters printed on a front surface of a transparent member, and to allow light from a plurality of light sources to pass through an interior of the transparent member from one side of the transparent member, to illuminate the symbol. A lens sheet and a diffused sheet are inserted between the transparent member and the plurality of light sources in the symbol illumination apparatus. This configuration prevents a plurality of light rays from being seen on the bottom of the transparent member.
