Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first metal frame including a bottom plate; a light guide plate having a main surface and a side surface, arranged such that the main surface overlaps the bottom plate of the first metal frame; a plurality of light emitting elements arranged along the side surface and each of the plurality of the light emitting elements having a light emitting surface facing the side surface; a light source substrate having a mounting surface on which the plurality of the light emitting elements are mounted; a light source support member made of metal including a substrate support plate portion supporting the light source substrate, the substrate support plate portion contacting a rear surface of the light source substrate; a liquid crystal panel disposing in an opposite direction to the first metal frame with respect to the light guide plate; a second metal frame including a front plate covering a peripheral area of the liquid crystal panel; and a resin frame including a plate-shaped support portion to interpose the light guide plate between the bottom plate of the first metal frame and the plate-shaped support portion, and including an opening between the light source support member and the second metal frame, wherein the light source support member has a first contact portion that contacts the first metal frame and a second contact portion that extends through the opening and contacts a bottom surface of the second metal frame that is parallel to the main surface through the opening; and wherein a top surface of the second contact portion that extends through the opening and contacts the bottom surface of the second metal frame does not protrude from a top surface of the resin frame.
