Abstract:
The backlight device included in the display apparatus includes a bezel, light guide plate, heat sink (supporting member) located on the rear side of the light guide plate, and a front side chassis (pressing member) located on the front side of the light guide plate to press the light guide plate from the front side. The bezel is fixed to the front side chassis. By a protrusion (suppressing member), the heat sink suppresses the approaching movement of a part of the bezel covering a side part of the heat sink. This also prevents the rotational movement of front part of the bezel and the front side chassis moving forward along with the movement of the part of the bezel. The force of the front side chassis pressing the light guide plate is not lowered, while preventing the light guide plate from shifting its position.
