A protective plate integrated display apparatus includes a display panel, a protective plate to protect the observation side surface of the panel, a resin layer charged into a gap between the panel and plate to join them, and a plate-like support member having an opening corresponding to a screen area of the panel. The panel is disposed on one surface side of the support member so that the screen area faces the opening and a peripheral portion of the observation side surface is continuously fixed to the support member over the whole periphery through a frame-like adhesive layer continuously surrounding the whole periphery of the opening. The plate is arranged on the other surface side of the support member with its peripheral portion being fixed to the support member. The resin layer is charged into the opening of the support member and a region surrounded by the adhesive layer.
