A display includes: a display panel; a front-face member being provided on a front face of the display panel, and the front-face member covering a surrounding section, or the surrounding section and other part of the display panel; and a back-face member having rigidity and being provided on a back face of the display panel, the back-face member covering the back face, or the back face and other part of the display panel.

Claims (30)

1. A display device comprising:

a display panel; and

a housing having the display panel arranged inside,

said housing having (i) a front-face member being provided on a front face of the display panel, (ii) a back-face member having rigidity and being provided on a back face of the display panel, the back-face member covering the back face, and (iii) a side-face member provided at a side face of the display panel,

the front-face member and the back-face member being adhered to each other by adhesive in an adhesion section to form the housing such that an outer surface of the front-face member forms an outermost surface of the display device,

in which the adhesive of the adhesion section extends from a first face of the front-face member to a second face of the back-face member, and in which the first face confronts the second face, and

in which the side-face member is adhered to the adhesion section and includes a protrusion section extending from an inside surface of the side-face member in a direction of the adhesion section, wherein positioning of a member of the display device is determined according to contact between the member and the side-face member along a surface portion of the inside surface of the side-face member extending from the protrusion section and facing in the direction of the adhesion section.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member is a frame provided at an outer edge section of the display panel.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member is a transparent plate covering the front face of the display panel.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member and the back-face member are made of a same material.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member is made of glass.

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

a light-guiding plate opposing the back face of the display panel.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein another member serving as at least a portion of the back-face member is made of glass.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member and the back-face member are made of a same material.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the front-face member and the back-face member are made of glass.

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

a light-guiding plate serving as the back-face member.

11. A display device comprising:

a display panel; and

a housing having the display panel arranged inside,

said housing having (i) a front-face member being provided on a front face of the display panel, (ii) a back-face member having rigidity and being provided on a back face of the display panel, the back-face member covering the back face, and (iii) a side-face member provided at a side face of the display panel,

the front-face member and the back-face member being adhered to each other by adhesive in an adhesion section, in which the adhesive of the adhesion section extends from a first face of the front-face member to a second face of the back-face member, and in which the first face confronts the second face, and in which the side-face member is adhered to the adhesion section and includes a protrusion section extending from an inside surface of the side-face member in a direction of the adhesion section,

wherein positioning of a member of the display device is determined according to contact between the member and the side-face member along a surface portion of the inside surface of the side-face member extending from the protrusion section and facing in the direction of the adhesion section;

a light shielding film being provided on a rear face of the back-face member; and

an outer surface of the front-face member and an outer surface of the light shielding film on the rear face of the back-face member form outermost surfaces of the display device.

12. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the front-face member is a transparent plate covering the front face of the display panel.

13. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein the front-face member and the back-face member are made of a same material.

14. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein each of the front-face member and the back-face member is made of glass.

15. The display device according to claim 11 , wherein a light-guiding plate serves as the back-face member.
