Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal panel; a backlight which radiates light to the liquid crystal panel; a light emitting element which is mounted on the backlight; and a light guide plate on which light from the light emitting element is incident, wherein the light emitting element includes a light radiation surface from which light is emitted, a lower end of the light radiation surface, and side surfaces which intersect with the light radiation surface, the light guide plate includes a light entering surface which faces the light radiation surface of the light emitting element in an opposed manner and on which the light from the light emitting element is incident, a main surface which intersects with the light entering surface and from which the light is emitted, and an S-shaped inclined portion which extends toward the main surface from a light-entering-surface side, and the lower end of the light radiation surface is aligned with a lower end of the light entering surface.
