Abstract
A sound output apparatus outputs sound from a side of the apparatus on which a display is located. The sound output apparatus includes: a display element that includes the display; a driven element that is driven in accordance with a drive signal; a transmission panel that transmits vibrations of the driven element to the side of the apparatus on which the display of the display element is located; and a cover panel that is placed on an opposite side of the display element than the driven element. The transmission panel is placed between the display element and the driven element, and is joined at least to a portion of a periphery region of the cover panel. The cover panel has the periphery region that extends around an outer periphery of the cover panel as viewed from the side of the apparatus on which the display is located.
