Claims

1. A display comprising:

a display main unit having a display panel and a front-face plate comprising a front surface, a plurality of side walls and a back-side portion which is right next to and substantially perpendicular to the side walls, said front face plate provided on a display surface side of the display panel; and

a rear cover including a back-face section and a side-face section which are integrally formed together to form a single piece rear cover, the back-face section being a flat-shaped plate made of metal and the side-face section being made of a resin such that in the rear cover only the flat-shaped back-face section is made of the metal,

an end section of the side-face section of the single piece rear cover being attached to the back-side portion of the front face plate of the display main unit so that (i) an inner surface of the back-face section faces a rear-face side of the display panel, (ii) the display panel is arranged within an internal space formed between an inner portion of the rear cover and the back-side portion of the front-face plate, and (iii) an outside surface of the-single piece rear cover and the front surface and the side walls of front face plate form an entire external surface of the display.

3. The display according to claim 1, wherein the side-face section includes a step section on which an end section of the back-face section is mounted.
