A display apparatus includes a display section, a control section, and a cooling section including a first ceiling section, a second ceiling section, a first connecting section and an air stream generating section. The first ceiling section is formed such that a distance of the first ceiling section from a non-display surface of the display section is shorter than that of the second ceiling section, and a ventilating area of a first ventilating passage is smaller than that of a second ventilating passage. The air stream generating section is configured such that an air stream is generated from the second ventilating passage toward the first ventilating passage so as to take the air out of the first ventilating passage and the second ventilating passage, and replenish the taken air with the ambient air. The control section is provided on a control section mounting surface of the first ceiling section.
