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.
