Abstract

A display apparatus includes a plurality of display devices arranged in one direction, each of the display devices having a display area; and a plurality of image transmission means corresponding to the respective display devices, one end face of each of the image transmission means being coupled to the display area of a corresponding display device, other end faces of the image transmission means corresponding to adjacent display devices being in contact with each other along at least one edge, the plurality of image transmission means being bent toward the one direction in which the display devices are arranged. Alternatively, a display apparatus of the invention includes a plurality of display devices disposed in two directions, each of the display devices having a display area; a plurality of image transmission means corresponding to the respective display devices, one end face of each of the image transmission means being coupled to the display area of a corresponding display device, otherend faces of the image transmission means corresponding to adjacent display devices being in contact with each other along at least two edges, some of the plurality of image transmission means each having inward facing slopes and outward facing slopes on two pairs of opposing faces, the outward facing slopes of the image transmission means being oriented in a direction in which the corresponding display device has no adjacent display devices.
