Abstract
A display apparatus includes a display panel and a light guide unit. The light guide unit includes a body portion and a support portion. The body portion includes a light outputting surface near the display panel, and the support portion is placed on the edge of the light outputting surface to support the display panel. The support portion has an inclined surface, and at least one groove is formed between the inclined surface and the display panel for accommodating glue that combines the display panel and the light guide unit. In addition to being disposed in the groove, glue may be further disposed in a gap between the display panel, a back bezel, and the light guide unit.
Claims19
A display apparatus, comprising:
- a display panel;
- a light guide unit comprising a body portion and a support portion, the body portion having a light outputting surface near the display panel, the support portion being placed on an edge of the light outputting surface to support the display panel, the support portion having an inclined surface, and at least one groove being formed between the inclined surface and the display panel for accommodating glue that combines the display panel and the light guide unit.
