<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the weight and cost without deteriorating thermal uniformity of the entire device in a device equipped with a light source such as a backlight device. <P>SOLUTION: The backlight device irradiating the back face of a transmissive display panel with light comprises: a light source substrate 14 mounting a light source 30 and disposed opposite to the back face of the display panel; a base member 17 made of a sheet metal, on which the light source substrate 14 is placed, and fixed to the rear part 16 of the chassis of the backlight device; and heat pipes 18 attached to the base member 17 and transmitting the heat generating in the light source 30 through the base member 17. The base member 17 has a plurality of grooves 22 disposed at a prescribed interval and extended in the longitudinal direction of the light source substrate 14, and a plurality of planes 21 between the grooves 22, where the light source substrate 14 is placed opposite to the display panel. Furthermore, the heat pipe 18 is disposed below each plane 21 of the base member 17, in the longitudinal direction of the light source substrate 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
