Abstract
Provided are a panel guide member and a display device having the same. The display device includes a receiving container, a light source, a display panel, a pane guide member, and a top case. The receiving container includes a bottom plate and sidewalls protruding from edges of the bottom plate. The light source is disposed in the receiving container to generate light. The display panel faces the bottom plate and displays an image using the light. The panel guide member includes a plurality of panel guide bodies dividing and supporting an NEDR around an EDR of the display panel on which an image is displayed, and warp preventing members connecting the panel guide bodies with each other and suppressing warping of the panel guide bodies caused by contraction/expansion of the panel guide bodies. The top case includes a first cover, and a second cover to couple to the sidewalls.
