HOLDING MEMBER, ILLUMINATION DEVICE FOR DISPLAY DEVICE, HAVING THE HOLDING MEMBER, AND DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING THE HOLDING MEMBER

摘要

A holding member has holders (102A) each holding one end of each of parallelly drivable tube lamps and supplying electric power, outputted from a power source device, to the tube lamps. The holding member has buffer sections (102G, 102H) for buffering thermal stress in the direction in which the tube lamps are arranged. With the holding member, the effect of the buffer section suppresses deformation of the tube lamps occurring in the direction in which the lamps are arranged, so that there is no possibility of lamp breakage due to repeatedly occurring deformation of the tube lamps.
