Abstract
A display apparatus includes an LCD panel, a PCB assembly placed behind the LCD panel and supplying electric current to the LCD panel, an LCD frame provided around the LCD panel, a plurality of first combining parts formed on peripheral sides of the LCD frame, and a plurality of second combining parts formed on the plane of the LCD frame. A front cover is placed in front of the LCD panel, covering edges of the LCD panel and is combined to one of the first and second combining parts. A rear cover is placed behind the LCD panel, accommodating the PCB assembly, and is combined to the other one of the first and second combining parts. With this configuration, the present invention provides a display apparatus which minimizes a space for installation, carriage and storage, has a slim and compact appearance, and prevents an illusion that a display part of an LCD panel is relatively small. Further, the present invention provides a display apparatus which need not comprise some components such as a panel supporting member and a PCB cover, thereby being easily and quickly assembled. Furthermore, the present invention provides a display apparatus of which front and rear covers are made of a conductive metal, so that an LCD panel and a PCB assembly are effectively protected from EMI.
