  • Publication number: 20130100357
    Abstract: A display device includes a light source, a reflection sheet, a display panel and a display panel supporting member. The display panel supporting member is disposed on a back side of the display device relative to the reflection sheet. A part of a back surface of the display panel supporting member disposed on the back side of the display device relative to the reflection sheet forms a rear chassis. The display panel supporting member has a first recessed portion that is recessed toward the reflection sheet such that the first recessed portion presses an inner area of a back surface of the reflection sheet except for a vicinity of an outer peripheral portion of the back surface of the reflection sheet.

  • Publication number: 20130100355
    Abstract: A display device includes a display part that displays images on a front surface, a board attachment material configured to support the display part from a rear surface that is opposite the front surface of the display part, and a circuit board attached in the board attachment area on the non-electroconductive surface side of the board attachment material. The board attachment material includes a non-electroconductive surface having no electroconductivity placed on the rear surface side, an electroconductive surface having electroconductivity placed on a side opposite to the non-electroconductive surface side, and a board attachment area on the non-electroconductive surface side. A non-board attachment area of the non-electroconductive surface of the board attachment material is exposed to an outside.
