Abstract

An image display device having an image display panel includes: as a casing, a base part mountable on a horizontal surface, a rising part rising from the base part at a predetermined angle, and a panel retaining part connected to an upper part of the rising part, the panel retaining part retaining the image display panel; a first circuit board for processing an image signal to be displayed on the image display panel, the first circuit board being disposed in the base part; and a second circuit board for generating a driving signal for driving the image display panel for display on a basis of the image signal processed by the first circuit board, the second circuit board being disposed in the rising part; wherein the driving signal generated by the second circuit board is supplied to the image display panel, and the image display panel displays an image.

Claims

1. A television receiver comprising:

an image display panel;

a casing having a base part mountable on a horizontal surface, a rising part rising from said base part at a predetermined angle, and a panel retaining part connected to an upper part of said rising part, said panel retaining part retaining said image display panel;

a first circuit board having a shield member, a tuner to receive a broadcast television signal, and an image processing unit for processing an image signal to be displayed on said image display panel, said first circuit board being disposed in said base part; and

a second circuit board for generating a driving signal for driving said image display panel for display on a basis of the image signal processed by said first circuit board,

wherein said second circuit board is connected to an upper end of said image display panel via a flexible board.

2. The television receiver according to claim 1, wherein said image display panel is an organic electro-luminescence panel.

4. The television receiver according to claim 2, wherein the driving signal generated by said second circuit board is a signal for driving the organic electro-luminescence panel.

5. The television receiver according to claim 1, wherein said second circuit board is disposed in said rising part.

6. The television receiver according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined angle is at most 45 degrees.

7. The television receiver according to claim 1, wherein the flexible wiring has a lower end connected to the second circuit board and an upper end connected to an upper end of the image display panel such that the driving signal is delivered to a lateral row located at the upper end of the image display panel.
