a light-shielding film provided on the rear plate; and

an organic electroluminescence display panel arranged in the housing,

wherein the front-face member is provided on a front face of the organic electroluminescence display panel,

wherein the rear plate is provided opposite a back face of the organic electroluminescence display panel,

wherein the front-face member and the rear plate are arranged adjacent to the metal frame, and the metal frame has a protrusion section, the protrusion section having a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite each other and in which the first surface and second surface of the protrusion section respectively abut a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface within the housing.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a spacer is provided between the rear plate and the organic electroluminescence display panel.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing layer is provided between the front-face member and the organic electroluminescence display panel.
