Abstract

A display apparatus includes: a plurality of display units that are two-dimensionally arranged; a supporting member that supports the plurality of display units; and an elastic member that partially couples the supporting member and each of some or all of the plurality of display units.

Claims (38)

1. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of display units that are two-dimensionally arranged, wherein each display unit of the plurality of display units includes a pixel array section;

a supporting member configured to support the plurality of display units;

an elastic member configured to partially couple the supporting member and a portion that projects from a rear surface of each display unit of the plurality of display units; and

a joint member configured to join adjacent display units of the plurality of display units with each other.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is further configured to energize a corresponding display unit of the plurality of display units in a direction that cancels a weight of the corresponding display unit.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the elastic member includes a portion that is held by the supporting member, and the elastic member engages with the portion of the corresponding display unit.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is not bonded to at least one display unit of the plurality of display units.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the supporting member includes a plurality of pillars that extends in one direction, and

the plurality of pillars is separated from one another.

6. A construction method, comprising:

providing a plurality of display units and a supporting member configured to support the plurality of display units, wherein each display unit of the plurality of display units includes a pixel array section;

two-dimensionally arranging the plurality of display units with use of the supporting member;

partially coupling the supporting member and a portion that projects from a rear surface of each display unit of the plurality of display units through an elastic member; and

joining adjacent display units of the plurality of display units with each other through a joint member.

7. The construction method according to claim 6 , further comprising energizing, by the elastic member, a corresponding display unit of the plurality of display units in a direction cancelling a weight of the corresponding display unit.

8. The construction method according to claim 7 , wherein

the elastic member includes a portion that is held by the supporting member, and

the method further comprising engaging the elastic member with the portion of the corresponding display unit.

9. The construction method according to claim 6 , wherein the elastic member is not bonded to at least one display unit of the plurality of display units.

10. The construction method according to claim 6 , wherein

the supporting member includes a plurality of pillars that extends in one direction, and

the plurality of pillars is separated from one another.

11. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of display units that are two-dimensionally arranged;

a supporting member configured to support the plurality of display units;

an elastic member configured to partially couple the supporting member and each of one or more of the plurality of display units; and

a joint member configured to join adjacent display units of the plurality of display units with each other.

12. A display apparatus, comprising:

a plurality of display units that are two-dimensionally arranged;

a supporting member configured to support the plurality of display units; and

an elastic member configured to partially couple the supporting member and each of one or more of the plurality of display units, wherein

the elastic member includes a spring,

the elastic member is further configured to energize a corresponding display unit of the plurality of display units in a direction that cancels a weight of the corresponding display unit, and

the elastic member includes a portion that is held by the supporting member and engages with a portion of the corresponding display unit.

13. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the spring is a tension spring suspended from the supporting member.

14. The display apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the spring is a compression spring disposed on the supporting member.
