(Prior Art) In recent years, so-called liquid crystal televisions that display television signals by liquid crystal have been rapidly put into practical use and are becoming widespread. There are various types of liquid crystal televisions, and among them, the backlight type that has a light source in the liquid crystal television itself and emits light from the back is convenient because it can be seen even in a dark place. Further, in a color liquid crystal television displaying a color image, it is desirable that the light source is white, so that a fluorescent lamp is often used as the light source. That is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a liquid crystal display unit (liquid crystal panel)
Set a U-shaped fluorescent lamp (2) on the back of (1) at a predetermined distance. A diffuser plate (3) is provided in contact with the back surface so that the light of the fluorescent lamp is diffused and irradiated to the liquid crystal display section, and the light emitted by the fluorescent lamp (2) is efficiently supplied to the liquid crystal display section ( A reflector (4) is provided so as to be applied to 1).
Therefore, when viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display unit (1), it seems that the entire back surface is illuminated.

However, in the liquid crystal television having the above-mentioned fluorescent light source, discharge naturally occurs, and this may affect the liquid crystal and cause deterioration in image quality such as a striped pattern in the displayed image. Further, at low temperature, the lighting of the fluorescent lamp was not stable and a good image could not be obtained in some cases.

That is, the liquid crystal display section (11) for displaying a television image includes a liquid crystal (12) and substrates (13a), (13) sandwiching the liquid crystal (12).
b) and a front electrode and a back electrode (not shown) provided inside each of these substrates in a matrix.
A diffuser plate (14) for diffusing light is provided on the back surface of the liquid crystal display (11) as in the conventional case. On the back side is a wire mesh (1
5) is provided, and a U-shaped fluorescent lamp (16) that emits white light is further installed below it (rear face) at a predetermined interval. A reflection plate (17) having a reflection surface on the inner surface is provided so as to cover the fluorescent lamp (16). Therefore, the white light emitted from the fluorescent lamp (16) is reflected by the reflecting plate (17) or directly passed through the wire mesh and diffused by the diffusing plate (14) to be applied to the back surface of the liquid crystal display section (11).

In this embodiment, the wire mesh (15) is further connected to one contact of the switch (SW), and the other contact of the switch (SW) is connected to the battery (22). The switch (SW) is opened and closed by the output of the comparison circuit (23). That is, the surface temperature of the fluorescent lamp (16) is detected by a temperature-voltage conversion element, for example, the thermistor (24), the voltage is compared with the reference voltage Vs, and if the voltage of the thermistor (24) is higher than this voltage, the comparison is made. The circuit (23) sends a control signal to close the switch (SW). Then, the voltage of the battery (22) is applied to the wire mesh (15). After all, when the surface temperature of the fluorescent lamp (16) is low when the power of this liquid crystal television is turned on, the wire net (15) is appropriately heated and the fluorescent lamp (16) is warmed.

In the above embodiment, a uniform mesh was used as the wire mesh for shielding the fluorescent light. However, as shown in FIG. 3, a wire mesh close to the fluorescent light is finer than other areas. If used, the electrostatic shielding effect becomes more effective and a better image quality can be obtained. Further, since light transmission is small in the fine mesh portion, there is an advantage that the light irradiation to the liquid crystal display portion becomes more uniform.
