Liquid crystal display apparatus

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:

• a backlight unit including a light guiding plate that includes a light emitting surface, a light source arranged to face a side edge of the light guiding plate and a back cover that covers the light guiding plate and the light source and has an opening in a region thereof that faces the light emitting surface;
• a liquid crystal display panel including an array substrate provided to face the light emitting surface, a counter substrate arranged to face the array substrate with a gap therebetween and a liquid crystal layer held between the array substrate and the counter substrate;
• a frame-shaped case that covers a peripheral portion of the counter substrate and peripheral walls of the back cover;
• and
• an input device provided on the case to face the counter substrate and having an entry surface,
• wherein the back cover includes a plurality of projecting portions which project even the light emitting surface, face a side edge of the liquid crystal display panel, and support the input device via the case.
