Display apparatus

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display apparatus includes an enclosure having a display portion and an internal space, and a speaker accommodated in the internal space and having a sound emitting surface directed in an opposite direction of the display portion. The enclosure includes a first opening area configured to emit sound of the speaker in the opposite direction of the display portion, and a second opening area configured to emit the sound of the speaker in a lateral direction to the display portion. A volume of the sound emitted from the first opening area is greater than a volume of the sound emitted from the second opening area.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display apparatus comprising:
 an enclosure comprising a display and a pair of speakers; wherein each of the speaker comprises a sound emitting surface configured to direct sound in an opposite direction from the display,   wherein, for each speaker, the enclosure further comprises a first opening area in a position facing each speaker and on an opposite side from the display, and a second opening area on a side of the enclosure and oriented in a substantially lateral direction to the display, and   wherein relative sizes of the first opening area and second opening area are configured such that the sound emanating from the first opening area is greater than the sound emanating from the second opening area.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein,
 for each speaker, the first opening area overlaps the sound emitting surface,   the second opening area is arranged in a position which is away from and on a substantially lateral side of the sound emitting surface, and   the first opening area is larger than the second opening area.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a sound emitting portion adjacent to the sound emitting surface is configured to communicate with the first opening area and the second opening area, and to partition an internal space. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the sound emitting portion is arranged adjacent to an outer periphery of the display. 
     
     
         5 . A display apparatus comprising:
 an enclosure comprising a display, a cabinet supporting the display; and   a pair of right and left speakers, each speaker comprising a sound emitting surface configured to direct sound in an opposite direction from the display,   wherein, for each speaker, the cabinet comprises a first opening area in a position opposing the sound emitting surface and in the opposite direction from the display, a second opening area on a side of the cabinet and oriented in a substantially lateral direction to the display, and a supporting portion projecting further outward from the first opening area with respect to the display, wherein relative sizes of the first opening area and the second opening area are such that the sound emanating from the first opening area is greater than the sound emanating from the second opening area.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the cabinet comprises a central region on which the supporting portion is formed and side edge regions inclined from the central region to a side of the display, and wherein the first opening area is formed on the side edge region. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the cabinet comprises a flat back surface, and the supporting portion comprises at least one projection projecting from the back surface. 
     
     
         8 . A display apparatus comprising:
 an enclosure comprising a display; and   a speaker comprising a sound emitting surface configured to direct sound in an opposite direction from the display,   wherein the enclosure comprises a first opening area in a position facing the sound emitting surface and in the opposite direction from the display, and a second opening area on a side of the enclosure and oriented in a substantially lateral direction to the display,   wherein relative sizes of the first opening area and the second opening area are such that the sound emanating from the first opening area is greater than the sound emanating from the second opening area.
