  • Patent number: 11112633
    Abstract: A frame-shaped reinforcement member is bonded and fixed to a rear surface of a cover panel, such as a glass plate. The reinforcement member has a rigidity higher than that of the cover panel. Since the reinforcement member is provided, the flatness of flat portions of the cover panel can be maintained at a high level. The reinforcement member is bonded and fixed to a rear support member after display cell elements are bonded to the flat portions and backlights are fixed to the reinforcement member.
