1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display panel; and
a housing that houses at least a part of an outer periphery of the display panel so as to surround the display panel from a back side of the display panel, the housing including:
a back surface that is located adjacent to the back side of the display panel;
a first wall that extends from a first side of the back surface toward a front side of the display panel so as to surround a first part of the outer periphery of the display panel;
a second wall that extends from a second side of the back surface toward the front side of the display panel so as to surround a second part of the outer periphery of the display panel, the second side of the back surface being adjacent to the first side of the back surface;
a protrusion that is formed on a portion of an end of the first wall that overlaps with an end of the second wall; and
a through hole that is formed in the end of the second wall, the protrusion passing through the through hole, wherein
a tip of the protrusion that has been passed through the through hole is expanded to fasten the first wall to the second wall, and
a clearance that is formed between an outer circumferential surface of the protrusion and an inner circumferential surface of the through hole is divided into a first part and a second part, the first part which is adjacent to a side of the protrusion that faces toward the back surface of the housing is smaller than the second part which is adjacent to a side of the protrusion that faces away from the back surface of the housing so that when a force from the front side to the back side of the display panel is applied to the first wall, the first wall is suppressed from being displaced relative to the second wall.
