The panel guide  70  is inserted into an inner surface of the bottom cover  100  and then mounted on the bottom cover  100 . 
         [0068]    The bottom cover  100  accommodates various components constituting the display apparatus  1 . The bottom cover  100  is coupled to the cabinet  200  disposed on a front side of the bottom cover  100  that will be described later to package the display panel  10  and the backlight unit  20 . 
         [0069]    Also, the bottom cover  100  may be formed of a metal material, and an exterior of the bottom cover  100  may be color-coated. As to be described below, the display apparatus  1  according to the current embodiment may be exposed to the outside through a portion of the exterior of the bottom cover  100 . Here, the display apparatus  1  may secure an elegant design in view of design through the bottom cover  100  formed of a metal material that is color-coated. Hereinafter, specific constitutions of the bottom cover  100  will be described in detail with reference to descriptions of an assembly process that will be described later. 
         [0070]    The cabinet  200  defines a front edge of the display apparatus  1  and has a front opening  201  through which the displayed image is output from the display panel  10 . Hereinafter, specific constitutions of the cabinet  200  will be described in detail with reference to the descriptions of the assembly process that will be described later. 
         [0071]    The board support  300  guides mounting of the main board  400  and the back cover  500 . Also, the board support  300  is mounted on the bottom cover  100  on a rear side of the bottom cover  100 . The board support  300  may be formed of a metal material having a long bar shape. The board support  300  may reinforce stiffness of the display apparatus  1 .
