Abstract
A support structure for a light source prevents the occurrence of a contact noise caused by contact of the light source with elements disposed around it due to vibrations. In the support structure, at the front of a backlight unit, cold cathode tubes as light sources and optical sheets for controlling the properties of light emitted from the cold cathode tubes are placed, and a frame substantially in the shape of a square with an opening is attached thereto from the front, so that rubber holders attached to the ends of the cold cathode tubes and the edges of the optical sheets are secured while disposed between the backlight unit and the frame.
