LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE, ILLUMINATING APPARATUS HAVING IT, AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

摘要

A substrate (32) on which LEDs (40) are arranged in line is used as a light source used for the side light of an illuminating apparatus serving as a backlight of side light type. The frame (47) of the LED (40) comprises a first portion (47e), a second portion (47f), and a third portion (47g). The second and third ones are arranged on both sides of the first one. The length of the longest part of the first portion (47e) in a first direction d1 in which the LEDs (40) are arranged is larger than the length of the longest part of each of the second portion (47f) and the third portion (47g). Each of the second portion (47f) and the third portion (47g) has a part having a length in the first direction d1 shorter than the length a1 of the longest part of the first portion (47e) in the first direction d1. Each of the total length b1 of the part of the second portion (47f) in which an electrode (43) is disposed and the electrode (43) in the first direction d1 and the total length c1 of the part of the third portion (47g) in which the electrode (43) is disposed and the electrode (43) in the first direction d1 is shorter than the length a1.
