CLIP, ILLUMINATING APPARATUS AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A clip (22) is provided with annular supporting sections (22a) having opening sections (22d) on the upper parts; a shaft section (22b) connected to the two supporting sections (22a) adjacent to each other in the axial direction of a cold-cathode tube (21); and a fixing section (22c) arranged at the lower part of the shaft section (22b). The cold-cathode tube (21) is inserted from the opening section (22c) to the inner sides of the supporting sections (22a). Stress generated to the cold-cathode tube (21) is reduced and breakage is suppressed by fixing the positions of the supporting sections (22a), which are connected by the shaft section (22b), on the shaft section (22b).
