Electronic device

An electronic device comprising:

• a case of which one surface is open, and which accommodates an illumination light source part that includes a light guide body;
• a generally planar liquid crystal display panel in which a protective plate is mounted on a display surface;
• a design frame which includes a flange part that protrudes inwardly toward the liquid crystal display panel from a peripheral edge of the design frame, and a design panel part that protrudes outward from the peripheral edge of the design frame in a direction generally perpendicularly from the liquid crystal display panel to constitute an exterior design on a display surface side, the flange part being attached to sides of the case to sandwich the light guide body between the flange part and the case;
• the liquid crystal display panel having an outer peripheral part of the protective plate fixed to the design panel part, and thus a back side thereof being illuminated with light from a light source guided by the light guide body;
• and
• a casing body on a rear side which is assembled to the design frame to which the liquid crystal display panel is fixed through the design panel part.
