Display apparatus

A method of forming a display apparatus, the method comprising:

• forming a display panel on which an image is displayed;
• forming a receiving member which receives the display panel, the receiving member including:
• a mold frame including two first portions parallel to each other, one second portion connecting the two first portions to each other and a first coupling member directly thereon, wherein an inner area of the mold frame is exposed at a side which opposes the one second portion, and
• a top mold coupled with the mold frame and including a second coupling member directly thereon,
• disposing the display panel in the inner area of the mold frame from the side of the mold frame opposing the one second portion;
• and
• engaging the first coupling member with the second coupling member to couple the top mold with the mold frame and to dispose the display panel between the top mold and the mold frame.

A receiving member of a display apparatus, comprising:

• a frame member which supports a display panel and a backlight unit of the display apparatus, and comprises a first sidewall;
• a top member which overlaps a front surface of the display panel, and comprises a second sidewall, and a top portion which overlaps the front surface and extends from the second sidewall;
• a bottom member which accommodates the display panel and the backlight unit, and comprises a bottom portion which faces a rear surface of the display panel, and a third sidewall which extends from the bottom portion;
• a first coupling member which couples the frame member to the top member, the first coupling member comprising:
• a first member directly on one of the first sidewall of the frame member and the second sidewall of the top member;
• and
• a second member directly on a remaining one of the first sidewall and the second sidewall, wherein the second member is engaged with the first member and couples the frame member to the top member;
• and
• a second coupling member which couples the top member to the bottom member, the second coupling member comprising:
• a third member directly on one of the second sidewall of the top member and the third sidewall of the bottom member;
• and
• a fourth member directly on a remaining one of the second sidewall and the third sidewall, wherein the fourth member is engaged with the third member and couples the top member to the bottom member.
