Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a liquid crystal display panel, and a backlight disposed behind the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight comprises at least one cold cathode ray tube having a first end and a second end, the at least one cold cathode ray tube being disposed so as to face a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and a chassis having at least one support for supporting the at least one cold cathode ray tube, and the at least one cold cathode ray tube is set so that a distance from a bottom of the chassis to the first end of the at least one cold cathode ray tube to which a high voltage is applied is larger than a distance from the bottom of the chassis to the second end of the at least one cold cathode ray tube to which a low voltage is applied, wherein the bottom of the chassis extends in a plane substantially parallel to a plane of the liquid crystal display panel, and the at least one cold cathode ray tube extends in a plane which is not parallel to the plane of the bottom of the chassis, and wherein the at least one support includes a base to be attached on the chassis and extending in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the at least one cold cathode ray tube, and at least one pair of finger portions having elasticity and extending substantially perpendicularly from the base, free ends of the pair of finger portions being disposed so as to elastically press the at least one cold cathode ray tube which is fitted between the finger portions in a direction toward the base.
