wherein said display panel unit is detachable from said mount member, said display panel unit includes a handle, and the handle is at least partially exposed outside of said mount member,

wherein said mount member is attached to said display panel unit when said display apparatus is in the operable state,

wherein said handle is exposed by said one or more back panels outside said display apparatus in such manner as to be usable as a handgrip for lifting said display apparatus when said display apparatus is in the operable state,

wherein said display panel unit is detachable from said mount member in such manner that the mount member no longer supports said display panel unit,

wherein said mount member is a panel supporting member comprising: a back support unit attached to a back side of said display panel unit; and a leg that supports said back support unit in an upright posture,

said back support unit has an abutting portion that can abut on said display panel unit to support a weight of said display panel unit,

said display panel unit includes peripheral frames attached to the peripheries of the display panel body, and

said abutting portion abuts on said peripheral frames.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said handle includes a plurality of handles.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein said display panel unit includes a plurality of peripheral frames attached around said display panel body, and

wherein said handle is attached to said display panel unit in such a way that said handle couples and fixes at least two of said plurality of peripheral frames.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein said mount member is a panel supporting member comprising: a back support unit attached to a back side of said display panel unit; and a leg that supports said back support unit in an upright posture, and

said handle is located in a position that does not overlap said back support unit and said leg in a direction approximately perpendicular to a display surface of said display panel body.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said handle is one of a plurality of handles, which are exposed by said one or more back panels outside said display apparatus in such manner as to be usable as handgrips for lifting said display apparatus.

6. A display apparatus comprising:

wherein a front panel unit is provided to at least cover the bottom of said display panel unit in a position higher than said leg, and

said front panel unit has a cut formed in a position corresponding to said bottom abutting portion.

7. A display apparatus comprising:

a display panel unit including a display panel body that displays an image; and

a mount member that is attached to said display panel unit and supports said display panel unit,

wherein said display panel unit is detachable from said mount member, said display panel unit includes a handle, and the handle is at least partially exposed outside of said mount member,

wherein said mount member is attached to said display panel unit when said display apparatus is in an operable state,

wherein said handle is exposed outside said display apparatus when said display apparatus is in the operable state, and

wherein said display panel unit is detachable from said mount member in such manner that the mount member no longer supports said display panel unit,
