In one embodiment of the present invention, a backlight device includes six light source units including cold-cathode tubes (linear light sources) and driving circuits for driving the respective cold-cathode tubes. The light source units are arranged in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the cold-cathode tubes. In one embodiment of the backlight device, an inverter controller (control portion) turns on the cold-cathode tubes included in each of two light source units that are adjacent in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction while phases of on-time/off-time cycles of PWM dimming of the two adjacent light source units are shifted from each other.
