Abstract
To provide an image display apparatus that is allowed to incorporate a panel module with excellent mechanical strength even if a screen is upsized and the apparatus is slimmed down. Strengthening units are mounted along a horizontal direction on canopies provided on an upper portion and a lower portion of a panel module constituting a display unit of a large-size, thin image display apparatus. Also, supporting members are mounted on the upper and lower strengthening units in such a manner that the supporting members bridge between the upper and lower strengthening units, so that a stand, or a chain or a string to be used when hanging the image display apparatus is mountable to the supporting members. This prevents direct application of external force to the panel module.
