Abstract

A display device in which a plurality of tubular light sources are arranged in parallel behind the display area of a display panel, including a first reflecting member disposed behind the tubular light sources and a second reflecting member disposed on an outer periphery of a reflection surface of the first reflecting member. The second reflecting member has a reflection surface inclined so that a distance from the liquid crystal display panel to the inclined reflection surface becomes smaller in a direction from an inner edge to outer edge of the reflection surface. A notch portion is provided on the inner edge. An end portion of the tubular light source is located through the notch portion of the second reflecting member at the back of the reflection surface of the second reflecting member, and the notch portion is covered with a hood shaped member.
