A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a base disposed on the back side of the display panel; a frame component including a front surface portion disposed at a peripheral edge portion of the display panel on the display surface side, a fixing portion disposed on the back side of the base, and a connecting portion which connects the front surface portion and the fixing portion; an attachment component including a base portion connected to the base, and a holding portion disposed further backward than the fixing portion; and a fastening component which fastens the fixing portion and the holding portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A display apparatus comprising: a display panel which displays an image; a base which is plate-shaped and disposed on a back side of the display panel opposite a display surface side on which the image is displayed; a frame component including a front surface portion disposed at a peripheral edge portion of the display panel on the display surface side, a fixing portion disposed on a back side of the base, and a connecting portion which is disposed exterior to a peripheral edge of the display panel and connects the front surface portion and the fixing portion; an attachment component including a base portion connected to the base, and a holding portion disposed further backward than the fixing portion of the frame component; and a fastening component which fastens the fixing portion and the holding portion of the attachment component. 2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment component is a separate component attached to the base by fastening. 3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the holding portion of the attachment component is part of a back cover which covers the back side of the base. 4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a plane parallel to a display surface of the display panel, an inner edge of the front surface portion of the frame component is disposed further outward than the fastening component which fastens the fixing portion and the attachment component. 5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a chip on film is inserted between the fixing portion of the frame component and the base, the chip on film connecting the display panel and a circuit board disposed on the back side of the base. 6. A method for manufacturing a display apparatus, the display apparatus including: a display panel which displays an image; a base which is plate-shaped and disposed on a back side of the display panel opposite a display surface side on which the image is displayed; and a frame component disposed at a peripheral edge portion of the display panel and a peripheral edge portion of the base, the method comprising: disposing a front surface portion of the frame component at the peripheral edge portion of the display panel by fastening, using a fastening component, a fixing portion of the frame component and a holding portion of an attachment component connected to the base, the front surface portion being disposed at the peripheral edge portion of the display panel on the display surface side, the fixing portion being disposed on a back side of the base, the attachment component including a base portion connected to the base and the holding portion disposed further backward than the fixing portion of the frame component.
