Abstract
An LED display apparatus capable of reliably preventing damage caused by static electricity without worsening the visual recognition, in which an the display surface of the LED display apparatus is mounted an electrically conductive plate having a thickness nearly equal to, or smaller than, the height of the light-emitting portions L in a direction Z perpendicular to the display surface and having holes perforated at positions corresponding to the positions of the light-emitting portions L on the display surface. The electrically conductive plate is grounded, and a current due to the electrostatic discharge flows from the electrically conductive plate into ground.
