Abstract
In a liquid crystal display device, a reduction in thickness with high luminance is achieved by laterally arranging two cold cathode fluorescent tubes in parallel to a main surface of the light guide plate along one side thereof and, at the same time, mutual interference in the pull-around disposition of power supply cables is eliminated. One of the cold cathode fluorescent tubes has a high-voltage-side electrode terminal thereof connected with one end of a high-voltage-side cable and a low-voltage-side electrode terminal thereof connected with one end of a flat cable. The flat cable has a mid-portion thereof bent at 90 degrees, and it traverses a lamp reflection plate, is further twisted at 90 degrees in the longitudinal direction, is further bent at 90 degrees and is merged with a pull-around path of the high-voltage-side cables.
