Abstract: The rear frame includes a frame-like body and a protrusion. The protrusion projects from an inner surface of the frame-like body. A light source unit is disposed on the inner surface, and includes a point light source. The light incident surface on a side surface of the light guide plate faces a light-emitting surface with a gap. An abutting side surface of the light guide plate projects toward the inner surface. The protrusion is fitted to a recess on the abutting side surface. The joining medium joins the abutting side surface with the light source unit. Alternatively, a projecting portion of the light guide plate projects in a direction different from a direction in which the abutting side surface projects. The intermediate frame sandwiches the light guide plate together with the rear frame and includes a sandwiching portion. The sandwiching portion sandwiches the projecting portion.

Abstract: The protective plate protects a front surface of the display device. The protective plate includes a transparent base material, an organic resin film and a multilayer film. The transparent base material has a flat plate shape and includes a main surface. The organic resin film contains a pigment and is provided on an outer peripheral portion of the main surface of the transparent base material. The multilayer film includes at least two types of thin films each having different refractive indices to ultraviolet light. Each of the at least two types of thin films is made of an inorganic material. The multilayer film is provided between the main surface of the transparent base material and the organic resin film.

Abstract: In a display apparatus of the present invention, an extension of a rear frame and an extension of a front frame are combined to oppose each other, so that structures (the extensions) having high stiffness are disposed on side surfaces of the display apparatus opposing each other. With an increase in stiffness of the display apparatus including the rear frame and the front frame, the display apparatus as a whole is less likely to be deformed by an external force.
