  • Patent number: 9329419
    Abstract: The image display apparatus includes a display panel, a holding member that holds four sides of the display panel, and a cushioning member that is disposed between the display panel and the holding member and exerts pressing force corresponding to deformation amount on the display panel. In a state where the warp present in the display panel is smaller than the warp in its maximum warp state, the pressing force exerted on the display panel from the cushioning member in a region at each of both end portions of at least one of the four sides of the display panel is smaller than the pressing force exerted on the display panel from the cushioning member in a region at a central portion of the side.

  • Patent number: 8599543
    Abstract: A display panel including a support structure that can reduce deformation of the display panel, that provides high positioning performance, and that stably supports the display panel is provided. In addition, a support structure of an image display apparatus including the display panel is provided. A connecting mechanism includes a plurality of first connecting members fixed to a back surface of the display panel at the side opposite to an image display surface of the display panel, a plurality of second connecting members that connect the supporting body for supporting the display panel to the first connecting members, and a relative-position adjusting portion that adjusts relative positions between the first connecting members and the second connecting members. A flexural rigidity of the first connecting members is lower than a flexural rigidity of the display panel.
