Patent ID: 10459268

Abstract:
The object is to provide a technique capable of preventing, in a display device, bubbles from being trapped between a protective plate or a touch panel and a display panel and occurrence of display inhomogeneity. The display device includes a display panel, a backlight unit, a cushion serving as a support, and a first frame. The first frame includes: an opening through which the backlight unit is seen; a sidewall covering side surfaces of the backlight unit to form the opening; a panel facing portion extending from the sidewall toward the opening side to cover an end portion of the backlight unit; and a protruding portion protruding from the panel facing portion toward the display panel side. The cushion is disposed on the panel facing portion. The protruding portion is thinner than the cushion. A predetermined clearance is created between the tip of the protruding portion and the display panel.
