The frame housing includes: a plurality of divided frames including a plurality of attachment portions including a through hole used for screw-fastening to a screw hole provided in the peripheral surface of the display unit. The through hole is an oblong hole with a long-axis direction of the oblong hole arranged in a direction along the peripheral surface of the display unit.

Claims

1. A frame housing provided on a peripheral surface of a display unit, the frame housing comprising:

a plurality of divided frames including a plurality of attachment portions including a through hole used for screw-fastening to a screw hole provided in the peripheral surface of the display unit, and

the through hole being an oblong hole with a long-axis direction of the oblong hole arranged in a direction along the peripheral surface of the display unit.

2. The frame housing according to claim 1, further comprising:

a screw that is inserted into the through hole of the attachment portions and screwed into the screw hole of the display unit, and attaches the divided frames to the peripheral surface of the display unit, and

the screw includes a head portion, and a bottom surface of the head portion has a planar shape.

3. The frame housing according to claim 1, wherein

the attachment portions include a plurality of through holes including:

a protective glass installation through-hole used when installing a protective glass on a front surface of the display unit; and

a normal-use through hole used when not installing the protective glass, and

a length of a short axis of the protective glass installation through-hole is less than a length of a short axis of the normal-use through hole.

4. The frame housing according to claim 1, wherein

the attachment portions include:

a fitting recessed portion that is recessed from an outer surface of the divided frames toward an inner surface of the divided frames and fits a concealed label;

a screw head housing recessed portion that is recessed from a bottom surface of the fitting recessed portion toward the inner surface of the divided frame and houses a head portion of a screw; and

the through holes that pass through from the bottom surface of the screw head housing recessed portion to the inner surface of the divided frames.

5. The frame housing according to claim 1, wherein

the divided frames further include connection portions that include thin walls projecting out in the peripheral direction of the display unit being provided at both end portion sides, and adjacent divided frames connect with the mutual connection portions being overlapped, and

the divided frames further include:

an engagement convex portion that is provided at one end portion side of the divided frames, and projects from a distal end of the connection portion in the peripheral direction of the display unit; and

an engagement concave portion that is provided at an other end portion side of the divided frames, and indents from a base end of the connection portions to the inside in the peripheral direction, and the adjacent divided frames connect with the mutual engagement convex portion and the engagement concave portion being engaged.

6. A display device comprising the frame housing according to claim 1, and the display unit.
