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 (34)

1. A display device comprising:

a housing comprising an opening;

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

the first portion includes a first facing portion and a first top wall, the first facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the first side and rising from the second face, the first top wall being connected to the first facing portion and being arranged so as to substantially parallel the second face,

the second portion includes a second facing portion and a second top wall, the second facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the second side and rising from the second face, the second top wall being connected to the second facing portion and being arranged so as to substantially parallel the second face,

the fixing piece is disposed on at least one of the first facing portion, the first top wall, the second facing portion, and the second top wall, and

the fixing piece and the circuit substrate are fixed by a fixing member.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the fixing piece is disposed on at least one of a distant edge of the first portion from the linking portion and a distant edge of the second portion from the linking portion.

3. A display device comprising:

a housing comprising an opening;

a display unit housed in the housing and comprising a first face, a second face, and a back wall, the first face including a display screen, the second face being opposite the first face, the back wall including the second face and a projecting portion, the projecting portion protruding in a direction crossing the second 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 cover member comprises a first portion arranged along the first side, a second portion arranged along the second side, a linking portion positioned in between the first portion and the second portion, and a fixing piece,

the first portion includes a first facing portion and a first top wall, the first facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the first side and rising from the second face, the first top wall being connected to the first facing portion and being arranged so as to substantially parallel the second face,

the second portion includes a second facing portion and a second top wall, the second facing portion being arranged so as to oppose to the second side and rising from the second face, the second top wall being connected to the second facing portion and being arranged so as to substantially parallel the second face,
