Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep a distance between a fluorescent tube and a light shielding mask for diffusing brightness constant by incorporating the fluorescent tube with a fluorescent tube holding cylinder provided with the light shielding mask for diffusing brightness. CONSTITUTION:Plural transparent fluorescent tube holding cylinders 6 having the same diameter are installed on a reflection plate 1. The fluorescent tube 2 is installed inside the fluorescent tube holding cylinder 6. In this case, the fluorescent tube 2 is installed so that the central axis of the fluorescent tube holding cylinder 6 may align with the tube axis of the fluorescent tube 2. The light shielding mask 5 for diffusing brightness is installed on the circumferential surface of the holding cylinder 6. The light shielding mask 5 is arranged on the circumferential surface opposite to the reflection panel 1 of the holding cylinder 6. A diffusion plate 3 is supported by the holding cylinder 6, and the diffusion plate 3 is arranged facing the mask 5. A liquid crystal panel 4 is arranged on the diffusion plate 3. Thus, the distance between the fluorescent tube 2 and the light shielding mask for diffusing brightness 5 is always kept constant, so that the diffusion panel 3 is uniformly irradiated with light from the fluorescent tube 2.
