The stand includes a base that supports the display unit at a rear side of the display unit and extends in a lateral width direction of the display unit, and a pair of legs that supports both longitudinal ends of the base from below respectively and extends across a lower edge of the display unit in a front-rear direction.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a display unit provided with a display screen on a front side; and

a stand that supports the display unit from below,

wherein the stand includes

a base that supports the display unit at a rear side of the display unit and extends in a lateral width direction of the display unit, and

a pair of legs that supports both longitudinal ends of the base from below respectively and extends across a lower edge of the display unit in a front-rear direction.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the stand further includes a pair of connection members that is disposed on the base at an interval in a longitudinal direction of the base to connect the base and a rear surface of the display unit.

3. The display device according to claim 2, wherein

the base includes a pair of first fixing portions and a pair of second fixing portions that are for fixing the pair of connection members,

an arrangement interval between the pair of second fixing portions is smaller than an arrangement interval between the pair of first fixing portions,

in a case where the display screen has a first size, the pair of connection members is respectively fixed to the pair of first fixing portions, and

in a case where the display screen has a second size smaller than the first size, the pair of connection members is respectively fixed to the pair of second fixing portions.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the pair of legs is detachably fixed to both the longitudinal ends of the base, respectively.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

the stand further includes

an external cover member that covers the leg from outside of the stand, and

an internal cover member that covers the leg from inside of the stand to interpose the leg between the internal cover member and the external cover member.

6. The display device according to claim 5, wherein

one of the external cover member and the internal cover member has a claw, and

the other of the external cover member and the internal cover member has an engaged portion with which the claw is engaged.

7. The display device according to claim 6, wherein

the engaged portion is a cutout formed on an outer peripheral edge of the other of the external cover member and the internal cover member, and

the other of the external cover member and the internal cover member further has a projection disposed near a tip of the claw engaged with the cutout.

8. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the stand further includes a connection portion that connects end of each of the pair of legs on the front side of the display unit to each other.

9. The display device according to claim 8, wherein the stand further includes a front-side cover member that covers each of the connection portion and the pair of legs from outside of the stand.

10. The display device according to claim 9, wherein a mirror surface is formed on a surface of the front-side cover member.

11. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

the display screen of the display unit is curved to have a recessed surface, and

the base extends in the lateral width direction of the display unit while being curved along a rear surface of the display unit.

12. A stand for supporting a display unit having a display screen from below, the stand comprising:

a base that extends in one direction and supports the display unit at a rear side of the display unit; and
