Claims (52)

1. A display device comprising:

a front surface panel;

a plurality of display units disposed at different positions on a back of the front surface panel; and

a main frame supporting side parts of a first display unit and a second display unit adjacent to each other among the plurality of display units, and fixed to a back surface of the front surface panel, wherein

the main frame includes:

a first subframe that supports a side part of the first display unit; and

a second subframe fixed to the first subframe and that supports a side part of the second display unit,

the first subframe includes:

a first plate part fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel; and

a first leg part extending from the first plate part along the side part of the first display unit and supporting the side part, and

the second subframe includes:

a second plate part fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel;

a second leg part extending from the second plate part along the side part of the second display unit and supporting the side part; and

a third plate part extending from the second leg part along a back surface of the first plate part and fixed to the back surface.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second subframe includes a third leg part extending from the third plate part along the first leg part.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second subframe includes a fourth plate part extending so as to intersect the third plate part and coupling the second leg part, the third plate part, and the third leg part.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first display unit includes

a display panel fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel,

a backlight disposed on a back of the display panel and configured to illuminate the display panel,

a housing case housing therein the backlight, and

a first coupling member coupling the housing case and the first subframe to each other.

5. The display device according to claim 4 , wherein

the first coupling member includes a fifth plate part extending along the front surface panel to a position overlapping the backlight, and

the backlight is sandwiched between the fifth plate part and the housing case.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second display unit includes

a display panel fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel,

a backlight disposed on a back of the display panel and configured to illuminate the display panel,

a housing case housing therein the backlight, and

a second coupling member coupling the housing case and the second subframe to each other.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein

the second coupling member includes a sixth plate part extending along the front surface panel to a position overlapping the backlight, and

the first display unit includes:

a display panel fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel;

a backlight disposed on a back of the display panel and configured to illuminate the display panel;

a housing case housing therein the backlight; and

a first coupling member coupling the housing case and the first frame to each other,

the first coupling member includes a fifth plate part extending along the front surface panel to a position overlapping the backlight, and

the backlight is sandwiched between the fifth plate part and the housing case.

9. The display device according to claim 8 , wherein the second display unit includes

a display panel fixed to the back surface of the front surface panel,

a backlight disposed on a back of the display panel and configured to illuminate the display panel,

a housing case housing therein the backlight, and

a second coupling member coupling the housing case and the second frame to each other.
