Abstract

According to one embodiment, a television includes a display unit with a display screen, a casing with first and second holes, a connection member, projections accommodated in the first and second holes, a support, and a base connected to the support. The casing includes a first face provided with an opening through which the display screen is exposed, a second face opposite to the first face, and a bottom wall. The connection member is made from metal and provided to the bottom wall of the casing. Each projection has a concave portion, with at least a portion of the respective concave portion making contact with a peripheral edge portion of the first hole or the second hole. The projections are detachably fixed to the support. The base includes different design between the display screen side of the base and the opposite side of the base to the display screen.

Claims

1. A television comprising:

a display unit with display screen;

a casing configured to house the display unit and comprising a first face provided with an opening through which the display screen is exposed, a second face positioned on an opposite side of the casing to that of the first face, and a bottom wall;

a connection member made from metal, provided to the bottom wall of the casing and provided with a first hole and a second hole;

a plurality of projections accommodated in the first hole and the second hole in the connection member, each of the projections being provided with a concave portion on the second face side of the projection, with at least a portion of the respective concave portion making contact with a peripheral edge portion of the first hole or a peripheral edge portion of the second hole;

a support to which the projections are detachably fixed, the support being configured to support the bottom wall of the casing; and

a base connected to the support and comprising different design between the display screen side of the base and an opposite side of the base to the display screen.

2. The television of claim 1, wherein the first hole and the second hole are each formed with different shapes from each other, and either the first hole or the second hole has a greater opening surface area than the other.

3. The television of claim 2, further comprising:

a reinforcement member made from metal and housed within the support,

wherein the plurality of projections are monolithically provided to the reinforcement member.

4. The television of claim 3, wherein the base is connected to the support at an opposite side to the display unit, and the reinforcement member comprises a portion that opposes a bottom face of the base.

5. The television of claim 4, wherein the portion of the reinforcement member that opposes the bottom face of the base comprises a bent portion extending along a thickness direction of the casing.

6. The television of claim 5, wherein lattice shaped ribs are formed to the bottom face of the base.

7. An electronic device comprising:

a support;

a display section comprising a bottom wall, the bottom wall being provided with an opening and having a sloping portion;

an insertion portion inserted into the opening in the bottom wall and configured to connect the support and the display section together;

a concave portion provided to the insertion portion so as to engage with a portion of the bottom wall; and

a design section to which the insertion portion is detachably fixed, the design section having a different design between the display screen side of the design section and an opposite side of the design section to the display screen.

8. The device of claim 7, further comprising:

a reinforcement member made from metal and housed within the design section, the insertion portion being monolithically provided to the reinforcement member,

wherein the design section is configured to support the display section.
