Moreover, a peak was confirmed around 1.2 kHz, and a dip was confirmed around 4 kHz.
On the other hand, in the case of the first embodiment, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 4, the sound pressure level does not decrease near the boundary between the midrange and the high range, and no peak or dip is confirmed. The sound pressure characteristics could be improved. Furthermore, it was also found that the sound pressure level increased in a band of 2 kHz or higher (high sound range), and sound in this band was radiated from the bottom opening 31.

  If the bottom opening 31 is provided as in the first embodiment, the sound from the speaker device 15 can be output toward the installation base 50 without being muffled inside the bottom cabinet portion 11c, and can be reflected and diffused. Therefore, in particular, the horn characteristics are not confirmed, the sound omission in the middle sound range and the high sound range is improved, and the feeling of being muffled can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, by providing the bottom opening 31, the opening area (the length in the Z-axis direction in FIGS. 1 and 2) by the front opening 35 can be slimmed. Specifically, the opening area may be about 1/3 of the width required for the speaker device listed in the related art, and a display device that is less subject to design restrictions can be provided.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the measurement result of the sound pressure level for the first embodiment and the comparative example 3.
