An illuminating device () includes a mounting board () on which a plurality of light emitting diodes () are arranged in a line, a light guide plate () including a light incident surface () for receiving light of the light emitting diodes (), and a frame () including a side face () to which the mounting board () is attached, and a bottom face () on which the light guide plate () is disposed. The frame () includes a groove () in which the end portion of the mounting board () is placed, and the groove () is formed between the side face () and the bottom face () on the opposite side of the bottom face () from the light guide plate (). A supporting member (support) () for supporting the light guide plate () is placed in the groove ().

Illuminating device and display device

Provided is a light guide plate that is suited for a compact illumination device emitting high-grade light and that allows the orientation thereof to be recognized with ease, an illumination device equipped with the light guide plate, and a display device equipped with the illumination device. Two protrusions (A,B) are formed on a light-receiving face () of a light guide plate (), and these protrusions (A,B) serve as a recognition member that allows the orientation of a top surface () of the light guide plate () to be recognized.

Light guiding plate, lighting apparatus, and display apparatus

Provided is an illuminating device wherein replacement of a light source is facilitated and generation of luminance nonuniformity is suppressed. An illuminating device () is provided with a light source module () which is attached to a bottom section () from a rear surface side of a case member (). On a prescribed section on the bottom section (), a through hole () is formed, and a prescribed section of the through hole protrudes to the side of a storing space (). An LED () is arranged to face a light incoming surface () of a light guide plate () by having the LED () protrude to the side of the storing space () through the through hole ().
