         5 . The flat display apparatus according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the driving circuit comprises:   a power board which supplies electric power to the flat display module; and   a main board which processes the image signal and supplies the processed image signal to the flat display module,   wherein the power board and the main board are accommodated in the main body unit.   
     
     
         6 . The flat display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the transmitter is disposed at a lower region of the cover. 
     
     
         7 . The flat display apparatus according to  claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:
 a remote control receiver which is disposed inside of the cover and receives a control signal from a remote controller,   wherein the transmitter is provided integrally with the remote control receiver.   
     
     
         8 . The flat display apparatus according to  claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising:
 a driving circuit which drives the flat display module; and   a transmitter cable which connects the driving circuit with the transmitter,   wherein a cable accommodating part which accommodates the transmitter cable is provided inside of the cover.   
     
     
         9 . A flat display apparatus which displays images for viewing with shutter glasses, the apparatus comprising:
 a cover;   a flat display module which is disposed in the cover and displays an image;   a transmitter which is disposed in the cover and transmits a synchronization signal to synchronize the image displayed by the flat display module with the shutter glasses; and   a remote control receiver which is disposed inside of the cover and receives a control signal from a remote controller, wherein the remote control receiver and the transmitter are disposed separately inside the cover,   wherein the cover comprises a front cover member which covers a front part of the display module and a rear cover member which covers a rear part of the display module,   wherein the front cover member comprises a transmitter mount configured to mount the flat-plate shaped transmitter,   wherein the transmitter mount is recessed in a rear side of the front cover member,   wherein the front cover member includes a transmitter signal pass-through section extending from the rear surface of the front cover member,   wherein the transmitter signal pass-through section is disposed in the recessed transmitter mount,   wherein the transmitter comprises a PCB (printed circuit board), and   wherein the transmitter is at least partially disposed in the recessed transmitter mount so that a side of the PCB faces the recessed transmitter mount.   
     
     
         10 . The flat display apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the transmitter and the remote control receiver are provided at a lower region of the cover. 
     
     
         11 . A display apparatus in which a user can view a three-dimensional (3D) image using shutter glasses, the apparatus comprising:
 a cover;   a display module which is disposed in the cover and displays an image; and   a substrate shaped transmitter which is disposed in the cover and transmits a synchronization signal to the shutter glasses to synchronize the image displayed by the display module with the shutter glasses,   wherein the cover comprises a front cover member which covers a front part of the display module and a rear cover member which covers a rear part of the display module,   wherein the front cover member comprises a transmitter mount configured to mount the flat-plate shaped transmitter,   wherein the transmitter mount is recessed in a rear side of the front cover member,   wherein the front cover member includes a transmitter signal pass-through section extending from the rear surface of the front cover member,   wherein the transmitter signal pass-through section is disposed in the recessed transmitter mount,   wherein the transmitter comprises a PCB (printed circuit board), and   wherein the transmitter is at least partially disposed in the recessed transmitter mount so that a side of the PCB faces the recessed transmitter mount.
