Abstract

In a display device, the display unit chassis is configured by including a peripheral wall section which is disposed to cover the circumference of a liquid crystal panel, and a bezel case section which is disposed between the liquid crystal panel and the peripheral wall section in a state of covering a surface of a peripheral edge of the liquid crystal panel, side-edge sections whose engagement is limited only to the liquid crystal panel are disposed on both of left and right sides of the bezel case section.

Claims (18)

1. A display device having a display unit chassis configured with a first case section disposed to cover a circumference of a display, and a second case section disposed between the display and the first case section in a state of covering a surface of a peripheral edge of the display, wherein:

a display engagement part, which only engages the display, is disposed on at least part of the second case section;

wherein the display engagement part includes a display cover part which is disposed to face a front surface of the display, a vertical wall part which projects from a back surface of the display cover part so as to cover the circumference of the display and is formed continuously along one edge of the display, and display engagement claws which project from a plurality of mutually separated positions on a projected edge of the vertical wall part toward an inner circumference side so as to face a back surface of the display.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the display has a rectangular external form and the display engagement part is disposed on the second case section along full lengths of places which correspond to two edges of the display which extend in parallel with each other.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first case section is disposed on a peripheral edge part of a third case section which covers the back surface of the display integrally with the third case section.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein:

an elastic member is disposed to face the display in a state of being interposed between the vertical wall part and the display.

5. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a display device having a display unit chassis configured with a first case section disposed to cover a circumference of a display, and a second case section disposed between the display and the first case section in a state of covering a surface of a peripheral edge of the display, wherein:

a display engagement part, which only engages the display, is disposed on at least part of the second case section;

wherein the display engagement part includes a display cover part which is disposed to face a front surface of the display, a vertical wall part which projects from a back surface of the display cover part so as to cover the circumference of the display and is formed continuously along one edge of the display, and display engagement claws which project from a plurality of mutually separated positions on a projected edge of the vertical wall part toward an inner circumference side so as to face a back surface of the display.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein:

the display unit chassis of the display device is supported by a hinge device to be movable relative to a main body chassis and shifts to a state of covering a front surface of the main body chassis and then to a state of leaving the front surface of the main body chassis open, and

electronic components between the display and the main body chassis.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein:

the hinge device includes a hinge unit chassis which is formed separately from the display unit chassis and the main body chassis, and the electronic components are housed in the hinge unit chassis.
