Abstract:
1. A television, comprising: a rib structure formed at positions around a display panel housed in a cabinet; the rib structure includes ribs that are positioned on a back side of a front face of the cabinet, formed around a periphery of an opening that is substantially parallel with an upper, lower, left and right straight lines of the opening; the rib structure is further integrally formed with a first and a second rib portion uprightly provided toward a rear side of the television on the back side of the front face of the cabinet at a substantial center of which the opening is formed to expose a screen of the display panel to the outside, the first rib portion is substantially linear, and includes a first leading edge that is substantially perpendicular to the back side of the front face, and substantially abuts approximately perpendicularly to a left side face and a right side face of the display panel housed in the cabinet corresponding to a position of the opening, a second edge that contacts the second rib portion, a third edge that has an orientation normal to the first leading edge and the second edge and faces the rear side of the television, and a fourth slanted edge that is straight and positioned at an oblique orientation between the first leading edge and the third edge, and when the display panel is housed in the cabinet corresponding to the position of the opening, the fourth slanted edge is positioned away from and outside of the opening, while first leading edge substantially abuts the display panel, with the fourth slanted edge enabling the positioning of the display panel in a position surrounded by plurality of the first rib portions; the second rib portion is substantially U-shaped, with an outer curve of the U-shaped second rib portion contacting the second edge of the first rib portion at a nearly bottom position of the outer curve of the U-shape and two ends of the U-shape contacting the ribs, with the two ends of the U-shape connected to a wall face of the ribs uprightly provided in substantially parallel with the left side face and the right side face of the display panel and toward the rear side of the television on the back side of the front face of the cabinet; the two ends of the second rib portion absorb external shock by deforming, with the shock dissipated at the nearly bottom position of the outer curve of the U-shape of the second rib portion and the second edge of the first rib portion, preventing direct transmit of the external shock to the display panel.
