A liquid crystal display devicecomprises a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight unitemitting light toward the liquid crystal display panel, control substratesfor controlling the liquid crystal display paneland the backlight unit, and an outer covercontaining the liquid crystal display panel, the backlight unit, and the control substrates. The control substratesare arranged on the side opposite to the side including the display panelwith respect to the backlight unit, and the liquid crystal display devicefurther comprises a heat insulating frame, which is disposed between the backlight unitand the control substrates, and which forms a space covering one surface of the backlight uniton the side facing toward the control substrates

Display device

A backlight unit comprising: a light guide plate for causing light to exit in a planar manner from an upper surface of the light guide plate, the light having entered the light guide plate from an LED; a substrate provided along an end surface of the light guide plate and having an LED mounted on a counter surface of the substrate, the counter surface facing the end surface of the light guide plate; a frame provided along the substrate and attached to the substrate on a rear surface of the substrate, the rear surface being opposite to the counter surface; and one or a plurality of insulating members arranged in such a manner that the one or the plurality of insulating members and the frame sandwich the substrate, the one or the plurality of insulating members each fixing a screw point of a screw inserted from the frame into a through-hole provided through the frame and the substrate.

Backlight unit and liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display comprises a liquid crystal panel (), a group of optical sheets () disposed rearward from the liquid crystal panel (), a light source () disposed rearward from the group of the optical sheets (), a frame-shaped front frame () disposed forward from at least the group of the optical sheets (), a back chassis () disposed rearward from the light source () and fixedly connected to the front frame () directly or indirectly, and a holding member () integrally holding the group of the optical sheets () to keep the group of the optical sheets () held in position integrally, when the back chassis () and the front frame () are unfixed from each other.
