LIGHTING DEVICE, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND TELEVISION RECEIVER

摘要

Disclosed is a lighting device that can suppress the formation of dark portions at the light incident surface of a light guide plate. The lighting device is characterized by: being provided with a light source (17), a light guide plate (19) that has a light incident surface (19b) on a side and that guides light from the aforementioned light source (17) and incident to the aforementioned light incident surface (19b), and a light-path alteration member (34) that covers the light emitting surface (17a) of the aforementioned light source (17) and that alters the light path of light emitted from said light source (17); the aforementioned light source (17) being disposed facing the aforementioned light incident surface (19b) of the aforementioned light guide plate (19) with the aforementioned light-path alteration member (34) therebetween; and the aforementioned light-path alteration member (34) causing light emitted from the aforementioned light source (17) to radiate directed towards the portions (19b2) of the aforementioned light incident surface (19b) that are not directly facing the aforementioned light source (17) by means of reflecting or refracting said light.
