       8 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the display panel has a back surface opposing to the display surface,   each supporting portion expands outward from the edge corresponding thereto between the image display surface and the back surface on the display panel.   
   
   
       9 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a cushion is interposed between at least one of the fixing portions of the housing and at least one of the edges and supporting portions of the display pane corresponding thereto, and   the cushion absorbs an impact force applied to the housing in a direction in which the display surface extends.   
   
   
       10 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the flat type display panel further includes at least one edge, and at least one supporting portion integrally mounted on the further at least one edge, and   the housing further includes at least one fixing portion supporting the whole of the further at least one supporting portion in the direction, to which the image display surface looks, and fixing the further at least one supporting portion thereon.   
   
   
       11 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein each supporting portion is integrally mounted on the whole of each edge. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
 at least one of the supporting portions is divided into at least three pieces in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends, and   at least one of the fixing portions is divided into at least three pieces in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends.   
   
   
       13 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
 at least one of the supporting portions is divided into at least three pieces in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends, and   each fixing portion continues in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends.   
   
   
       14 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
 each supporting portion continues in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends, and   at least one of the fixing portions is divided into at least three pieces in a direction in which the edge corresponding thereto extends.   
   
   
       15 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
 the display panel has a back surface opposing to the display surface,   each supporting portion has one surface looking to one of an image display surface looking direction and a back surface looking direction, and   each fixing portion supports the whole of the one surface of each supporting portion.   
   
   
       16 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
 the display panel has a back surface opposing to the display surface,   each supporting portion has two surfaces, one of the two surfaces looking to a display surface looking direction and the other of the two surfaces looking to a back surface looking direction, and   each fixing portion supports the whole of each of the two surfaces of the supporting portion corresponding thereto.   
   
   
       17 . The apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein
