Abstract:
A backlight unit 12 includes cold cathode tubes 18, a chassis 14, inverter boards 20, and relay connectors 21. 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 18, and configured to supply a drive power to the cold cathode tubes. The relay connectors 21 are mounted to the chassis 14 and configured to relay power supply from the inverter boards 20 to the cold cathode tubes 18. Each inverter board 20 can be moved from a non-inserted position and an inserted position along a direction along the board surface of the inverter board 20. The inverter board 20 is separated from the relay connectors 21 at the non-inserted position and inserted in the relay connectors 21 at the inserted position. The backlight unit 12 further includes positioning structures for positioning the inverter board 20 relative to the chassis 14 at least one of directions along the board surface of the inverter board 20.
Abstract:
A lighting device for a display device includes a tubular light source and a relay connector used to supply power to the tubular light source. The tubular light source includes a glass tube and a ferrule having a cylindrical shape arranged to be fitted to the glass tube. The ferrule is arranged to electrically connect the tubular light source to the terminal. The ferrule includes an inner-diameter-changing elastic member that is elastically and radially deformable so that its inner diameter varies and adapts to the outer diameter of the glass tube.
Abstract:
A lighting device for a display device includes a light source, an optical member arranged on the light emitting side of the light source, and a support member arranged to support the optical member from the light source side. A recess portion arranged to accommodate the distal end portion of the support member is provided in the surface of the optical member that faces the light source, and the recess portion is arranged to overlap with the support member when seen in a planar view.
Abstract:
A lighting unit 12 of the present invention includes a light source 17, a chassis that covers the light source 17 and a vibration absorber 70 provided in a mat-like form and arranged between the light source 17 and the chassis 14. The vibration absorber 70 is made of gelatinous material. With this configuration, the vibration absorber 70 blocks vibration propagation from the light source 17 to the chassis 14. As a result, a roaring sound is properly eliminated or reduced.
Abstract:
A lighting device for a display device includes a light source and a chassis arranged to cover the light source. The chassis includes a base member made of resin material, and further includes a metallic skeleton frame provided on the base member. Thus, the lighting device for a display device having a simple construction capable of preventing or suppressing beat tones generated on a lamp housing member is provided without increasing the thickness of the device.
Abstract:
A lighting device for a display device includes a light source and a chassis arranged to cover the light source. Further included is an inverter circuit board that is mounted to the chassis and includes an inverter circuit arranged to supply drive voltage to the light source. The chassis includes an opening section located directly below a portion of or all of the inverter circuit board. Thus, the lighting device for a display device, capable of preventing or suppressing beat tones generated on a lamp housing member, is provided without increasing the thickness of the device and with a simple structure.
