The invention provides a technique enabling an image of high quality to be
displayed while decreasing an effect of an outside light proceeding
toward a back surface of PDP through a through hole for mounting an
electric circuit on a chassis. A flat panel display of the invention
includes a display panel, a metallic chassis having a through hole and
joints for connecting the back surface of the display panel and the
chassis to each other. The joints are on the back surface of the display
panel distant from each other in a predetermined direction, and one of
the joints is arranged at a position corresponding to the through hole of
the chassis.
