Abstract:
A display apparatus includes: a substrate; a strip-like light source placed at ends in a width direction of the substrate; and a light guide plate mounted in front of the substrate. A display medium is disposed in front of the light guide plate. The substrate includes a main body and a pair of edge plates that cover the front surface of both ends in the width direction. Light source mounts formed separately to the substrate and the edge plates have a strip-like light source mounted thereupon and are fixed inside the insertion channels. The light guide plate is mounted with both ends inserted inside the insertion channels so that light from the strip-like light source is incident from end surfaces of the light guide plate.

Claim (Index 1):
1 ] A display apparatus comprising:\n a substrate shaped as a rectangular plate when viewed from a front side thereof; a strip-like light source mounted on at least one out of both ends in a width direction of the substrate; and a light guide plate which is disposed across a front surface of the substrate, is mounted on the substrate, and guides light emitted from the strip-like light source to every part in the width direction of the substrate; wherein the display apparatus is configured so that a display medium is capable of being disposed on a front surface side of the light guide plate, the substrate includes: a main body that is shaped as a rectangular plate when viewed from a front side thereof; and a pair of edge plates that are provided at both ends in a width direction of the main body and cover the front surface side of both ends in a width direction of the light guide plate, both ends of the main body and both edge plates form a pair of insertion channels into which the light guide plate is capable of being inserted, the substrate further includes a light source mount that is formed separately to the main body and the edge plates, is capable of having a strip-like light source mounted thereupon, and is fixed to at least one of the main body and the edge plates in a state where the light source mount has been disposed inside the insertion channels, and the light guide plate is mounted on the substrate in a state where both ends in the width direction have been inserted inside the insertion channels in a state where light from the strip-like light source mounted on the light source mount is incident from end surfaces in the width direction of the light guide plate.
