Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a display, a circuit substrate, connector terminals, a first cover, a second cover, and a fastening member. The circuit substrate includes a first side and a second side adjacent to the first side, and overlaps a second face of the display. The connector terminals are disposed at a vicinity of each of the first side and the second side. The first cover includes a first opening exposing the connector terminals therethrough, and covers the second face. The second cover includes a linking portion and a noncircular through hole, and covers the first opening across the first side and the second side. The linking portion is positioned in between the first side and the second side. The fastening member is inserted through the through hole so as to fix the second cover, the circuit substrate, and the display.

Claims (36)

1. A display device comprising:

a housing comprising an opening;

a display housed in the housing;

the first side and the second side are arranged to be adjacent to each other with a corner of the circuit substrate held in between,

the cover member comprises a first portion arranged along the first side, a second portion arranged along the second side, and a linking portion positioned in between the first portion and the second portion, and

a shape of the linking portion is different from a shape of the first portion and a shape of the second portion.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein

the linking portion has a plate-like shape,

each of the first portion and the second portion have a S-shaped cross-section.

3. A display device comprising:

a housing comprising an opening;

a display housed in the housing and comprising a first face and a second face, the first face including a display screen, the second face being on an opposite side of the first face;

a circuit substrate housed in the housing and comprising a first side and a second side;

a plurality of connector terminals disposed at each of the first side and the second side of the circuit substrate, and exposed through the opening; and

a cover member covering the opening across the first side and the second side of the circuit substrate, wherein

the first side and the second side are arranged to be adjacent to each other with a corner of the circuit substrate held in between,

the cover member comprises a first facing portion, a second facing portion, and a linking portion positioned in between the first facing portion and the second facing portion, the first facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the first side and rising from the second face of the display, the second facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the second side and rising from the second face, and

the linking portion is thinner than the first facing portion and the second facing portion.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein
