Television and electronic apparatus

Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a rectangular liquid crystal panel, a light-guide plate, a light bar corresponding a short side of the liquid crystal panel and including a plurality of light-emitting diodes, a reflector on the light-guide plate, a prism sheet on the light-guide plate on a side opposite to the reflector, and a polarizing sheet on the prism sheet configured to diffuse light.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A television comprising:
 a liquid crystal panel comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface; 
 a front cover comprising an opening exposing the second surface of the liquid crystal panel, the front cover forming a part of an outer surface of the television; 
 a back cover that covers the first surface of the liquid crystal panel; 
 a backlight unit between the liquid crystal panel and the back cover, the backlight unit comprising a light-guide plate and a plurality of LEDs lateral to the light-guide plate; 
 a middle frame comprising
 a supporting portion located between the first surface of the liquid crystal panel and the light-guide plate, the supporting portion retaining the light-guide plate between the supporting portion and the back cover; and 
 a fixing portion thermally connected to the LEDs, the fixing portion being interposed between the front cover and the back cover and making contact with both of the front cover and the back cover; 
 
 a first protecting member interposed between an inner surface of the front cover and the second surface of the liquid crystal panel so that the front cover supports the liquid crystal panel through the first protecting member; and 
 a second protecting member interposed between the first surface of the liquid crystal panel and the supporting portion of the middle frame so that the middle frame supports the liquid crystal panel through the second protecting member. 
 
     
     
       2. The television of  claim 1 , further comprising a third protecting member interposed between the supporting portion of the middle frame and the light-guide plate of the backlight unit so that the middle frame supports the light-guide plate through the third protecting member. 
     
     
       3. The television of  claim 1 , wherein
 the backlight unit comprises an optical sheet facing the light-guide plate, and 
 the third protecting member is interposed between the supporting portion of the middle frame and the optical sheet of the back light unit so that the middle frame supports the optical sheet through the third protecting member. 
 
     
     
       4. The television of  claim 1 , wherein the fixing portion of the middle frame is thermally connected to both the back cover and the front cover. 
     
     
       5. The television of  claim 1 , further comprising a reflector stacked on the light-guide plate, the reflector being interposed between the light-guide plate and the back cover.
