A display apparatus comprises: a display panel comprising a plurality of display elements arranged in a matrix form on a substrate having flexibility; a supporting member having a surface, the substrate of the display panel being placed on the surface; and a holding member provided at a part of or the entire of an outer edge of the display panel along the outer edge so as to rim the display panel, the holding member holding the display panel on the surface of the supporting member. The holding member engages with an outer periphery of the display panel, the holding member is bonded to the surface of the supporting member, and the substrate closely contacts with the surface of the supporting member at a lower strength than a bonding strength between the holding member and the surface of the supporting member.
