Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display, a rear cover, a supporter, and a front mask. The rear cover is configured to cover a rear surface of the display. The supporter is between the display and the rear cover. The supporter is configured to support the rear surface of the display. The front mask is exposed to an outside. The front mask includes an opening and a protrusion. The opening is configured to expose a front surface of the display. The protrusion is configured to support the display. The protrusion includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is configured to face a side surface of the display. The second portion is configured to face a side surface of the supporter.

Claims

1. A television comprising:

a display comprising a front surface, a rear surface, and a side surface;
