Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display apparatus includes: a display displaying images on a display surface; a back chassis arranged in a position opposite to the display surface of the display; and a rear cover arranged in a position opposite to a surface of the back chassis which faces the display, wherein through holes piercing in a thickness direction are formed in the back chassis and reinforcing portions are provided in the back chassis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A display apparatus comprising: a display displaying images on a display surface; a back chassis arranged in a position opposite to the display surface of the display; and a rear cover arranged in a position opposite to a surface of the back chassis which faces the display, the back chassis having (i) a number of reinforcing portions configured to increase rigidity and (ii) a number of through holes piercing in a thickness direction provided as a number of weight reducing cut-outs arranged in a predetermined manner with reference to the number of reinforcing portions to reduce weight of the back chassis. 2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an arrangement case is attached to the rear cover in a position opposite to a surface which faces the back chassis, and circuit substrates are housed in the arrangement case. 3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein speaker units are housed in the arrangement case. 4. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the arrangement case is attached to a lower end portion of the rear cover. 5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing portions are formed by drawing processing. 6. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rear cover is formed by vacuum forming. 7. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an apparatus body having the display, the back chassis and the rear cover is provided, a stand having a receiving portion, which is attached to the apparatus body to support the apparatus body, is provided, and in a state where the stand is attached to the apparatus body, the receiving portion is positioned just below the display and the back chassis to allow the receiving portion to receive loads of the display and the back chassis. 8. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , in which each through hole in the number of through holes has a rectangular shape. 9. A display apparatus comprising: a display displaying images on a display surface; a back chassis arranged in a position opposite to the display surface of the display; and a rear cover arranged in a position opposite to a surface of the back chassis which faces the display, wherein through holes piercing in a thickness direction are formed in the back chassis, and reinforcing portions are provided in the back chassis, wherein a frame is attached to an outer peripheral portion of the display and an outer peripheral portion of the back chassis, and the frame is provided with a first presser-surface portion pressing the outer peripheral portion of the display, a second presser-surface portion pressing the outer peripheral portion of the back chassis, which faces the first presser-surface portion and a coupling surface portion coupling the first presser-surface portion to the second presser-surface portion, which faces the outer peripheral portion of the display and the outer peripheral portion of the back chassis. 10. The display apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the frame is provided with a holding surface portion holding an outer peripheral portion of the rear cover. 11. A display apparatus comprising: a display displaying images on a display surface; a back chassis arranged in a position opposite to the display surface of the display; and a rear cover arranged in a position opposite to a surface of the back chassis which faces the display, wherein through holes piercing in a thickness direction are formed in the back chassis, and reinforcing portions are provided in the back chassis, wherein an apparatus body having the display, the back chassis and the rear cover is provided, a stand attached to the apparatus body to support the apparatus body is provided, and the stand is attached to a lower end portion of the apparatus body to have a function of standing the apparatus body, and the stand is also attached to a back surface of the apparatus body to have a function of setting the apparatus body so as to abut on a wall surface. 12. A display apparatus comprising: a display device having a display surface to display images; a back chassis arranged in a position opposite to the display surface of the display device; and a frame attached to an outer peripheral portion of the display device and an outer peripheral portion of the back chassis, the frame having (i) a first presser-surface portion pressing the outer peripheral portion of the display device, (ii) a second presser-surface portion pressing the outer peripheral portion of the back chassis, which faces the first presser-surface portion, and (iii) a coupling surface portion coupling the first presser-surface portion to the second presser-surface portion, which faces the outer peripheral portion of the display and the outer peripheral portion of the back chassis.
