Abstract
Provided is a display apparatus without a front chassis or a bezel. A front frame is provided on at least one side of a display panel to hide a chip-on-film and a printed circuit board coupled to the display panel that would be otherwise exposed to the outside. A front surface of the front frame may have a color and light reflectivity corresponding to those of a non-display area of the display panel. Thus, the display panel and the front frame may appear to be integrally formed. Accordingly, a bezel-less display apparatus, in which no bezel is formed around the display panel, may be achieved.
