Abstract

There is provided a display device including a display in which an image is displayed on a display surface, and a back chassis that is disposed on a surface opposite to the display surface of the display. A display holding portion that holds the display is provided in the back chassis.

Claims (22)

1. A display device comprising:

a display in which an image is displayed on a display surface;

a back chassis that is disposed on a surface opposite to the display surface of the display, said back chassis having a display holding portion;

a cushion disposed between the display and the display holding portion;

a bezel formed in a frame shape and directly mounted to the back chassis to press an outer circumference of the display against the display holding portion through the cushion so as to avoid use of a middle chassis to hold the display;

a lamp to emit light to be incident on the display;

a reflection sheet, mounted on the back chassis, to reflect the light emitted from the lamp toward the display;

a sheet mounting portion, formed in the back chassis, to mount the reflection sheet; and

a diffusion plate to control the light emitted from the lamp, said diffusion plate being disposed between the display and the back chassis and arranged therein to control bending of the diffusion plate.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a lamp holder mounted on the sheet mounting portion, the lamp holder having plurality of integrally formed portions including a connecting portion, a lamp holding portion to hold the lamp, and a pressure protrusion portion, and

said lamp holding portion being located at an end of said connecting portion of said lamp holder and said pressure protrusion portion being located at a middle portion of said connecting portion.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , said diffusion plate being disposed between the display and the back chassis such that the pressure protrusion portion is pressable against a rear surface thereof to control bending of the diffusion plate.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , further comprising a second lamp, and in which the lamp holder includes a second lamp holding portion located at a second end of said connecting portion, and in which the middle portion is between lamp holding portions such that said pressure protrusion portion is located between the lamp holding portions.

5. The display device according to claim 3 , in which said pressure protrusion portion protrudes along a protrusion axis which does not intersect a longitudinal axis of the lamp.

6. The display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an optical sheet that controls light oriented toward the display is disposed between the display and the back chassis, and

wherein a sheet holding portion that holds the optical sheet is integrally formed in the back chassis.

7. The display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein a hold hole is formed in the optical sheet,

wherein the sheet holding portion is formed in a protrusion shape protruding toward the display, and

wherein the sheet holding portion is inserted into the hold hole in a manner that the optical sheet is held in the back chassis.
