A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel having a reflection layer on a back surface opposite to a display surface of the liquid crystal panel, a light-guiding plate being closely fixed to the display surface and configured to diffusely reflect light incident and emit the light toward the display surface, a light source holding plate having a light source fixing plate on which a light source is mounted, and a back-side frame that includes a back-side portion disposed in parallel with the back surface of the liquid crystal panel and supported by the light source holding plate. A pair of positioning bent portions that are bent perpendicularly from the back-side portion and support the one end surface are formed on both sides at a lower end edge of the back-side portion along the one end surface.

Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a quadrangular liquid crystal panel, a light guiding plate formed in a quadrangular shape substantially the same as that of the liquid crystal panel and having a pair of convex portions that protrude outward from a pair of end surfaces, and a frame having a light source holding plate in which a light source is mounted on a light source fixing plate, the light source fixing plate facing the one end surface, the back-side portion being formed in a quadrangular shape substantially the same as that of the liquid crystal panel. Bent side plate portions, which face the pair of end surfaces, are respectively provided on a pair of side portions of the back-side portion. Notches, into which the convex portions are fitted, are provided in the pair of bent side plate portions.
