ABSTRACT:
A display apparatus is constituted by a display panel having an electrode terminal, a flexible carrier carrying a drive element for driving the display panel together with an input terminal and an output terminal connected thereto, a circuit board for supplying signals to the drive element, and a support plate for supporting the display panel and the circuit board. The output terminal and the input terminal of the flexible carrier are connected to the electrode terminal of the display panel and the circuit board, respectively. The support plate is provided with a supporting member, for supporting the circuit board at a position which is farther from the display panel than a line dividing the circuit board into equal halves closer to and farther from the display panel. As a result, when the display apparatus is supplied with an impact in a direction perpendicular thereto, the circuit board is allowed to rotate so as to reduce a stress applied to the flexible carrier, thereby preventing the breakage or electrical connection failure thereof.
