An illumination device (12) for a display device, having a light source (17), a chassis (14) for covering the light source (17), and an inverter circuit board (50) attached to the chassis (14) and having an inverter circuit for supplying a drive voltage to the light source (17). The chassis (14) has an opening (55) at that portion or that entire area of the chassis which is directly under the inverter circuit board (50).
