Claim Text:
1. A display apparatus comprising: a display panel that includes a display screen disposed on a front surface of the display panel; a cover member that overlaps and covers a periphery of the display screen; a light-transmitting panel that covers an area located in front of the display screen; a decorative panel including a display window that is located in front of the light-transmitting panel and that is opposite the display screen; an elastic frame made of a material deformable by compression, sandwiched in compression between a front surface of the cover member and a back surface of the light-transmitting panel, fully surrounding the periphery of the display screen, and elastically supporting the light-transmitting panel; and a vibration generating section configured to provide the light-transmitting panel with vibrations, wherein the elastic frame is in compression around the entire periphery of the display screen and includes a high-density frame region compressed by the cover member and the light-transmitting panel with an increased compression and a low-density frame region compressed by the cover member and the light-transmitting panel with a compression lower than that of the high-density frame region, the high-density frame region of the elastic frame being compressed with increased compression by an auxiliary member superposed on a back surface or a front surface of the elastic frame in the high-density frame region, or a protrusion in a region of the cover member corresponding to the high-density frame region, and the high-density frame region is arranged near a hole, a gap, or an opening disposed in a vicinity of the display window in the decorative panel.
