A liquid crystal display device includes: LEDs; a liquid crystal panel; a flexible board connected to the liquid crystal panel; a driver mounted on the flexible board; a frame that has a frame section that has a frame-like shape and that holds the liquid crystal panel, and a side wall that extends from the edge of the frame section to the side opposite of a display surface side; and a source driver holder that holds the flexible board to the frame, and that has a first holding section that is disposed along the frame section and of which a portion is attached to the frame section and a second holding section that extends from the edge of the first holding section to the side opposite of the side of the display surface side.

Display apparatus and television receiving apparatus

A liquid crystal display deviceincludes an LED unit, a liquid crystal panel, a light guide plate, a chassis, and a frame. The LED unitincludes an LEDand an LED board. The light guide platearranged such that a light entrance surfacefaces the LED. The frameis fixed to the chassis. The frameand the chassishold the liquid crystal paneland the light guide platetherebetween. The frameincludes a panel holding portionand a sidewall portion. The panel holding portionholds the liquid crystal panelfrom the display surfaceside. The sidewall portioncontinues from the panel holding portionand extends on the light entrance surfaceside. The frameincludes a through holethat runs through the sidewall portion. The LED unitis fitted in the through holefrom the outer side such that the LEDis positioned more to the inner side than the sidewall portionand at least a portion of the LED unitis held inside the through hole

Display device and television device

A backlight device is provided with the following: LEDs; a light guide plate formed in a rectangular plate shape and having at the end surfaces thereof a light-receiving face opposing the LEDs and a reflection surface disposed on the side opposite the light-receiving face, and having on the plate surface thereof a light-emitting surface that emits light; a portion to be supported provided to the corner part, from among the corner parts of the light guide plate, that is disposed on the opposite surface side; a supporting portion that supports the light guide plate in a first direction and a second direction by coming into contact with the portion to be supported, when the first direction is a direction in which the LEDs and the light guide plate are lined up, and the second direction is a direction that is orthogonal to the first direction and that follows along the light-emitting surface of the light guide plate; and a inclined portion that is provided to the portion to be supported and that forms a slanted shape with respect to both the first direction and the second direction, and by facing outward in the second direction is distanced from the LEDs in the first direction.
