A display device, comprising:
- a light source;
- a display panel having a rectangular shape and using light from the light source for display;
- a first frame member having a rectangular frame-shape along peripheral edges of the display panel and configured such that a length thereof is variable in a first direction;
- and
- a second frame member having a rectangular frame-shape along the peripheral edges of the display panel, the second frame member and the first frame member clamping the peripheral edges of the display panel therebetween,
- wherein the first frame member comprises a pair of extension portions extending in the first direction and respectively forming sides of the first frame member, the extension portions being configured to extend and retract in the first direction, and
- wherein each of the extension portions comprises:
- a first extending end portion extending in the first direction;
- and
- a second extending end portion extending in the first direction and being attached to the first extending end portion so as to be slidable relative to the first extending end portion in the first direction,
- wherein the second extending end portion has a recess extending in the first direction that is covered by the first extending end portion when the second extending end portion is fully retracted and that is exposed from the first extending end portion when the second extending end portion is partially drawn out from the first extending end portion,
- wherein the second extending end portion is being partially drawn out from the first extending end portion by a prescribed distance, exposing a portion of the recess in the second extending end portion and creating a gap in a surface profile of the extension portion, and
- wherein each of the extension portions further includes a cover that fits into the exposed portion of the recess of the second extending end portion and that covers the gap along the first direction, a length of the cover in the first direction being equal to the prescribed distance by which the second extending end portion is partially drawn out from the first extending end portion so as to cover an entire length of a portion of the second extending end portion that has been drawn out from the first extending end portion.
