An object of the present invention is to improve the rate at which light enters a display surface from an edge light-type lighting device and to improve the brightness of the display surface. A backlight device of the present invention is provided with: a light guide plate that has a light-receiving surface on a side face; and an LED light source 28 that is disposed so as to face the light-receiving surface of the light guide plate and covered by a lens 29. The lens 29 has a partially cylindrical shape, the cylinder axis thereof extending in the thickness direction of the light guide plate. Consequently, light leakage to the outside of the light guide plate in the thickness direction of the light guide plate can be prevented or mitigated. In addition, light can be diverged in a direction that is along the light-receiving surface of the light guide plate and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the light guide plate.
