LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND TELEVISION RECEIVER

摘要

Connection reliability of a terminal and other part is improved in a lighting device. A backlight unit includes a cold cathode tube having an outer lead at an end part; a chassis housing the cold cathode tube; and a connector mounted to the chassis and including an insertion path to which the outer lead is inserted, a connection terminal that expands to receive the outer lead inserted to the insertion path, and a restricting portion that is selectively moved in one of a first position and a second position. The restricting portion in the first position allows the outer lead to be inserted to the insertion path and allows the connection terminal to expand to receive the connection terminal. The restricting portion in the second position restricts the outer lead to be inserted to the insertion path and restricts expansion of the connection terminal that holds the outer lead.
