Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can reduce the number of cables so as to prevent the occurrence of the brightness irregularities. The liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight. The backlight includes an LED substrate on which a plurality of LEDs are mounted, a reflection sheet which is arranged on the LED substrate, a diffusion plate which is arranged in a spaced-apart manner from the LED substrate, side supports which support the diffusion plate at end portions of the LED substrate, connectors which are provided for electrical connection with an external device, and electronic parts which are electrically connected with at least one of these LEDs. The connectors and the electronic parts are mounted on the LED substrate below the side supports. The side supports exhibit higher light reflectance than the connectors and the electronic parts.
