Reflected with a bias. As a result, the amount of light reflected to the outside increases, and the decrease in luminance of illumination light outside the array is prevented or suppressed.
- the array of cold cathode tubes 17 is prevented. It is difficult to visually recognize brightness and darkness in the display peripheral portion corresponding to the outside, and thus it is possible to prevent and suppress the occurrence of display unevenness.
- the shift amount T of the top 43 of the mountain-shaped reflector 40 is set to the mountain-shaped reflector.
- the amount of light reflected from the outer first mountain-shaped reflection part 40a is about the amount of light reflected by the outer mountain-shaped reflection part 40a. It is possible to increase the number on the outside. As a result, it is possible to reduce the unevenness of the illumination light at the location outside the cold cathode tubes 17 arranged in parallel (the location corresponding to the peripheral portion of the display screen), thereby preventing the occurrence of display unevenness. It is possible to suppress it.
- the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of the first inclined surface 41 facing the inside of the array of cold cathode tubes 17 is the arrangement of the cold cathode tubes 17.
- the inclination angle ⁇ 2 of the second inclined surface 42 that faces the outside is smaller than ⁇ 2.
- the reflected light can be more easily directed outward than inward.
- a liquid crystal display device 10 using such a backlight device 20 is used.
- the area of the inclined surfaces 41, 42 of the mountain-shaped reflector 40 is configured to be relatively large in the outer first mountain-shaped reflector 41. RU Therefore, a large amount of reflected light can be directed in the tilt direction at the first mountain-shaped reflecting portion 41.
- the knock light device 20 of the present embodiment in which the cold cathode tubes 17 have a relatively large arrangement interval outside the arrangement, it becomes possible to suitably disperse the reflected light outside the arrangement.
- the base 14 also has a force obtained by forming the metal sheet metal 141 on the base material 140, and each chevron reflecting portion 40 is formed by bending the metal sheet metal 141. Being! / Further, as described above, the reflective resin coating 142 is formed as a light reflective coating on the surface of the metal sheet 141, thereby forming a light reflective surface.
- the base 14 having such a configuration makes it possible to provide the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40 simply and reliably. Since the reflective resin coating 142 is formed on the metal sheet metal (metal plate member) 141, it becomes possible to appropriately design the workability and the light reflectivity separately, in accordance with various conditions. It is possible to provide a backlight device 12.
- the force that makes the inclination angles 0 1, 0 2 of the inclined surfaces 41, 42 of the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40 different from each other for example, the formation position of the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40y
- the inclination angle ⁇ 1 of each inclined surface 41, 42 as shown in FIG. , ⁇ 2 may be equally configured. Even in this case, it is possible to direct the reflected light to the outside of the array and increase the amount of reflected light outside the array.
- the formation position of the mountain-shaped reflector 40 is The center position O of the adjacent cold cathode tubes 17a and 17b may be used. Even in this case, the reflected light can be directed to the outside of the array and the amount of reflected light outside the array can be increased.
- the power shown in the case where the cold cathode tube 17 is used as the tubular light source is also included in the present invention, which uses other types of tubular light sources such as a hot cathode tube.
- a holding member (lamp clip) for regulating the arrangement position of the cold cathode tube 17 may be installed on the base 14.
- the force that forms the mountain-shaped reflector 40 between all the cold-cathode tubes 17 is omitted.
- the mountain-shaped reflector 40 in the central portion is omitted and selective to the peripheral portion.
- the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40 may be formed.
- the central part since the cold cathode tubes 17 are closely arranged, streak-like luminance unevenness hardly occurs. In this case, it is not always necessary to form the reflecting portion 40, and it may be possible to contribute to cost reduction.
- the light reflecting plate 14 is composed of a reflective resin plate member 143, and the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40 is formed by bending the reflective resin plate member 143. Also good.
- the light reflecting plate 14 is formed by using the metal sheet metal 141 shown in FIG. 8 as a base material made of a resin, and a reflective resin board member is formed on the base material 141, and a mountain-shaped reflection
- the portion 40 may be formed by bending the base material 141, and the reflective resin member 142 may be attached along the bent shape of the base material 141.
- the light reflecting plate 14 is formed by forming a reflective resin plate member 145 on a base material 144 made of a resin, and the mountain-shaped reflecting portion 40 is formed of a reflective filter 40.
- the fat plate member 145 may be bent and formed.
- the base material 144 is made of metal and the reflective resin plate member 145 is formed on the base material 144, and the chevron-shaped reflective portion 40 is formed by folding the reflective resin plate member 145. It may be formed by bending.
- the present invention can also be applied to a liquid crystal display device using a switching element other than TFT, and can also be applied to a liquid crystal display device displaying black and white in addition to a liquid crystal display device displaying color.
- a switching element other than TFT can also be applied to a liquid crystal display device displaying black and white in addition to a liquid crystal display device displaying color.
- the present invention can be applied to other display devices using a backlight device other than the liquid crystal.
