Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a liquid crystal display panel; and a backlight arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein the backlight includes a base, a plurality of rod-shaped light sources arranged between the liquid crystal display panel and the base, electrode fittings for supporting electrode portions of the respective rod-shaped light sources, connection, portions allowing the plurality of electrode fittings to be connected thereto and extending in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped light sources, pushing members for pushing the connection portions toward a base side, and friction sound reducing members arranged between the connection portions and the pushing members and/or between the connection portions and the base side wherein the pushing members are formed on side wall plates which cover the electrode portions from above, wherein the side wall plates are arranged with inclination spreading at an obtuse angle with respect to a surface of the base, and a light reflecting function is imparted to liquid-crystal-display-panel-side surfaces of the side wall plates.
