Abstract:
A backlight unit includes a discharge tube, a plate, a vibration absorber for absorbing vibrations, and a backlight chassis. The backlight chassis includes a bottom plate and side plates that rise from a surface of the bottom plate at the respective edges of the bottom plate. The backlight chassis houses the vibration absorber, the plate, and the discharge tube arranged in this sequence from the surface of the bottom plate. The plate is in contact with the vibration absorber.
Abstract:
A backlight unit includes a discharge tube, a backlight chassis and a reinforcing member. The backlight chassis includes a bottom plate and side plates that rise from a surface of the bottom plate at the respective edges of the bottom plate. The backlight chassis houses the discharge tube that is arranged on the first surface of the bottom plate. The reinforcing member includes fixing portions that is fixed to the respective side plates and a reinforcing portion that is in contact with a rear surface of the bottom plate of the backlight chassis and connected to the fixing portions.
Abstract:
In a lighting device, it is controlled whether or not to exit light for every small area of a light guide member and good operability is obtained for installation of the light guide member. Uneven brightness is less likely to occur. A backlight unit 12 includes LEDs 17 as light sources, a light guide member 19 having a light entrance surface 19b which light from the LEDs 17 enters and a light exit surface 19a from which light exits, and a groove portion 22 formed on a surface of the guide member 19 opposite to the exit surface 19a so as to divide the exit surface 19a into areas A in a plan view. The LEDs 17 are arranged corresponding to each area A and the groove portion 22 includes an LED housing groove portion 22A housing at least one of the LEDs 17 therein and having an inner surface that is the entrance surface 19b.
Abstract:
The backlight unit 12 includes cold cathode tubes 18, a chassis 14, inverter boards 20, relay connectors 21, and covers 22. The chassis 14 houses the cold cathode tubes 18. The inverter boards 20 are arranged on a side of the chassis 14 opposite from the cold cathode tubes 19. The inverter boards 20 are configured to supply drive power to the cold cathode tubes 18. The relay connectors 21 are mounted to the chassis 14 such that the inverter boards 20 are connected thereto so as to be removal therefrom in one of the directions along a board surface of the inverter board 20. The relay connectors 21 are configured to relay power from the inverter boards 20 to the cold cathode tubes 18. The covers 22 are made of material having a lower strength than the chassis 14 and arranged between the chassis 14 and the inverter boards 20. The chassis 14 has receiving portions 35 that project toward the inverter boards 20 and receive the inverter boards 20. The covers 22 have spacer portions 38 between the receiving portions 35 and the inverter boards 20.
