Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel, a backlight and a power supply controlling circuit substrate. The backlight has a rectangular shaped frame member with long and short sides, light sources in rod form within the frame member, and first and second electrode supporting members electrically connected to opposite ends of the light sources. A wire guide member is arranged along one long side of the frame member and holds a wire for electrically connecting at least one of the first and second electrode supporting members to the power supply controlling circuit substrate. The wire guide member has a wire securing portion where the wire is secured and a temporary wire securing portion which at least temporarily secures the wire running between the wire securing portion and the power supply controlling circuit substrate.
