An object is to prevent fall of a lamp clip due to an external factor such as vibration or impact. It is structured that a reflective memberprovided inside a backlight device has fitting holeseach including an insertion holeand a holding hole, a pair of fitting holesare provided in a direction where the holding holeswith respect to the insertion holesare mutually opposed, a pair of locking sectionson a substrateof a lamp clipare inserted into the insertion holesin the fitting holes, and thereafter, the lamp clipis rotated counter-clockwise or clockwise, so that the locking sectionsare held in the holding hole

Backlight device, lamp clip, and chassis for backlight

In a backlight device according to the present invention including a light emitting diode substrate, which has a light emitting diode and is placed on the back side of a panel module having an image display surface on the front side, and a reflection sheet for reflecting light emitted by the light emitting diode to the panel module, the reflection sheet is placed on the front side of the light emitting diode substrate, and the reflection sheet is provided with a through-hole into which the light emitting diode is inserted, so as to reduce brightness unevenness and color unevenness on the image display surface resulting from the light emitting diode substrate.
