Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display apparatus includes a housing, a display panel contained in the housing, a longitudinal frame extending vertically along a back surface of the display panel and secured to the display panel, a circuit board electrically connected to the display panel, and a chassis member on which the circuit board is mounted. The chassis member is a plate-like member of a size greater than or equal to that of the circuit board, arranged between the longitudinal frame and an horizontal edge part of the display panel, supported by the longitudinal frame to be opposed to the back surface of the display panel, and provided with a stud pin to which the circuit board is secured.

Claims (21)

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a housing;

a display panel in the housing;

a first frame extending along a back surface of the display panel;

a first circuit board comprising a fixture insertion hole; and

a chassis member arranged between the first frame and a first edge part of the display panel, and provided with a first hole and a second hole, the first hole corresponding to the fixture insertion hole of the first circuit board and having a stud pin to which the first circuit board is attached, the second hole being provided at a position different from the fixture insertion hole of the first circuit board and configured to have a stud pin for a second circuit board.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a position of a fixture insertion hole of the second circuit board is different from that of the fixture insertion hole of the first circuit board.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the chassis member is configured to allow the first circuit board to be replaced with the second circuit board without requiring a new hole.

4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first circuit board comprises a plurality of fixture insertion holes; and

the chassis member is provided with a plurality of first holes and a plurality of second holes, the number of the plurality of first holes is the same as the number of the plurality of fixture insertion holes.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the plurality of second holes is provided between the plurality of first holes.

6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising an inverter between the chassis member and the back surface of the display panel, the chassis member comprising a first surface which faces the inverter and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface and faces the first circuit board, the chassis member being conductive.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the chassis member is a shield configured to block a part of an electromagnetic wave from the inverter toward the first circuit board.

8. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the chassis member has a shape formed along the inverter and the back surface of the display panel.

9. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the chassis member comprises a depression part between the inverter and the first frame.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second frame, wherein:

the display panel comprises a second edge part;

the first and second frames are separate from each other in a direction connecting the first edge part and the second edge part; and

the first frame is closer to the first edge part than the second frame is.

11. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the chassis member is configured to be detached from the first frame in a state where the first circuit board mounted on the chassis member.
