Abstract
A backlight chassis is constituted by combining a right end chassis plate, a left end chassis plate, and an intermediate chassis plate obtained by cutting a metal sheet into a predetermined shape and pressing. A trough portion is formed in each chassis plate at a portion to be the long side of the backlight chassis, and the trough portions are superimposed at the boundary of adjoining chassis plates. Furthermore, a superimposed portion constituting a beam-shaped portion is provided at the boundary of adjoining chassis plates. The chassis plates are coupled by screws penetrating the superimposed portion of the trough portions or the beam-shaped portions. The right end chassis plate and the left end chassis plate have point symmetric shapes.
