  • Patent number: 11327220
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus including a display panel, a backlight disposed in the rear of the display panel, an optical sheet disposed between the display panel and the backlight and on which support slots are provided, and a middle mold including support protrusions to support the optical sheet. The support protrusion is formed such that a central portion of a front surface thereof has an updown width larger than that of the support slot and opposite sides of the front surface thereof have an up-down width smaller than that of the support slot, so that the front end of the support protrusion easily passes through the support slot and the optical sheet is prevented from being separated from the support protrusion.
