Abstract
In a transmission-type liquid crystal display unit having an edge-type backlight in which light from a fluorescent lamp is conducted through a light-conducting plate to the rear surface of the display unit, the light-conducting plate has a light-receiving end face which is curved along the cylindrical wall of the fluorescent lamp and maintained in contact with the latter, so that the light from the fluorescent lamp is conducted to the display surface with high efficiency.
