Abstract

In a display device forming a board for mounting a connector which allows inputting of video data thereon and a board for mounting a display control circuit to be connected to the connector thereon on a surface of a display module opposite to an observation side, the board for mounting the connector thereon and the board for mounting the display control circuit thereon are physically separated from each other and, further, an area of the board for mounting the display control circuit thereon is set smaller than an area of the board for mounting the connector thereon.

Claims (18)
