Abstract
A buffer member () which abuts on a front surface side of a panel periphery of a display panel is made of a material having a light shielding property and has a portion, which extends over substantially the whole length of a side, along at least one of the respective sides of a rectangular display region. A buffer member () which abuts on a back surface side thereof has a portion, which extends over a range of a side except both the end portions thereof, along at least one of the respective sides of the rectangular shape. Accordingly, deformation of the display panel is reduced and it is possible to prevent light leakage in a peripheral portion of the display screen.
