Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device including a back light in which an electrode support member can be reliably arranged on the base side without concern for thermal expansion. There is provided a liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel; and a back light arranged on the back surface of the present liquid crystal display panel; wherein the back light is composed of a plurality of bar light sources arranged in parallel in a plane opposing the liquid crystal display panel and a base that supports each of the bar light sources through electrode fittings at electrode sections; wherein the electrode fittings are provided on electrode support members extending in a direction in which the bar light sources are arranged in parallel, in units of the electrode fittings that support a mating electrode section of each bar light source; and wherein the electrode support member includes a portion fixed to the base side at least one point and a portion covered by a projecting portion fixed to the base side at another point, along the extending direction of the electrode support member.
