A display unit 1 is fixed inside a cabinet 5 composed of a front cabinet 5A and a back cabinet 5B. An opening 28 is formed to the back cabinet 5B having an inner diameter D1 greater than an outer diameter D of a head portion 25A of a fixing screw 25. Thus, the stand 15 can be disassembled from the display unit 1 without taking off the back cabinet 5B, by removing a disengaged fixing screw 25 through the opening 28 to the exterior. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display device comprising: a display unit having a liquid crystal panel on a front face thereof; a display portion having a front cabinet with a display window for the liquid crystal panel and a back cabinet, and having the display unit built therein; and a stand for supporting the display portion; wherein the display device further comprises a mounting bracket extending downward from the display unit; a supporting bracket provided on the stand and fixed to the mounting bracket; and a fixing member comprising a head portion and a threaded portion, the head portion having a greater diameter than the threaded portion, the fixing member fixing the supporting bracket to the mounting bracket; wherein the back cabinet covers at least the mounting bracket, and is provided with an opening for the fixing member to pass through, wherein a space formed therebetween for inserting the support bracket between the back cabinet and the mounting bracket; a portion of the fixing member is arranged between an inside surface of the back cabinet and an inside surface of the front cabinet, and an inside diameter of the opening provided on the mounting bracket is formed greater than the outside diameter of the head portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein the mounting bracket is fixed to the front cabinet side. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein the fixing member is a fixing screw. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1, 2, 3) The display device according to any one of claims 1 through 3, further comprising a positioning means for positioning the supporting bracket in a height direction and a width direction with respect to the mounting bracket. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1, 2, 3) The display device according to any one of claims 1 through 3, further comprising a positioning means for positioning the supporting bracket in a height direction and a width direction with respect to the mounting bracket, wherein: a pair of guide rails is formed to at least one of the mounting bracket or the supporting bracket, and the other bracket is inserted between the guide rails to position the supporting bracket in the width direction; and a raised portion is formed to the mounting bracket, the supporting bracket having its upper end butted against the raised portion so that the supporting bracket is positioned in the height direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1, 2, 3) The display device according to any one of claims 1 through 3, wherein the supporting bracket is pivotably attached to the stand so as to enable the mounting angle of the display unit to be adjusted in front and rear directions with respect to the stand. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1, 2, 3) The display device according to any one of claims 1 through 3, further comprising a positioning means for positioning the supporting bracket in a height direction and a width direction with respect to the mounting bracket, wherein the supporting bracket is pivotably attached to the stand so as to enable the mounting angle of the display unit to be adjusted in front and rear directions with respect to the stand. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1, 2, 3) The display device according to any one of claims 1 through 3, further comprising a positioning means for positioning the supporting bracket in a height direction and a width direction with respect to the mounting bracket, wherein a pair of guide rails is formed to at least one of the mounting bracket or the supporting bracket, and the other bracket is inserted between the guide rails to position the supporting bracket in the width direction; a raised portion is formed to the mounting bracket, the supporting bracket having its upper end butted against the raised portion so that the supporting bracket is positioned in the height direction; and the supporting bracket is pivotably attached to the stand so as to enable the mounting angle of the display unit to be adjusted in front and rear directions with respect to the stand. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, further comprising: a stepped recess portion formed between the back cabinet and the mounting bracket and positioned close to the mounting bracket, wherein said opening is provided to the stepped recess portion, and a decorative cover for covering the stepped recess portion.
