 図1に示すように、表示装置1は、フロントキャビネット10、液晶パネル(表示パネル)15、LED基板(光源基板)22、ヒートスプレッダ(放熱板)23およびバックキャビネット24を備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 1 includes a front cabinet 10, a liquid crystal panel (display panel) 15, an LED substrate (light source substrate) 22, a heat spreader (heat radiating plate) 23, and a back cabinet 24.
 フロントキャビネット10は、主に、液晶パネル15を囲う筐体である。バックキャビネット24は、主に、表示装置1の背面を覆う筐体である。フロントキャビネット10およびバックキャビネット24は、主に、例えばプラスチック等の射出成型物によって構成されている。 The front cabinet 10 is a casing that mainly surrounds the liquid crystal panel 15. The back cabinet 24 is a housing that mainly covers the back surface of the display device 1. The front cabinet 10 and the back cabinet 24 are mainly composed of an injection molded product such as plastic.
 液晶パネル15としては、例えば、公知の方式の液晶表示パネル(LCD)を用いることができ、特に、透過型または半透過型液晶表示パネルを好適に用いることができる。また、液晶パネル15は、弧を描くように湾曲しており、当該弧は液晶パネル15の短手方向に直交している。換言すれば、本実施形態では、液晶パネル15は水平方向に弧を描くように湾曲している。このような湾曲している液晶パネルは、例えば、特許文献1~3に示すように公知技術である。 As the liquid crystal panel 15, for example, a well-known liquid crystal display panel (LCD) can be used, and in particular, a transmissive or transflective liquid crystal display panel can be suitably used. The liquid crystal panel 15 is curved so as to draw an arc, and the arc is orthogonal to the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15.

 (LED基板およびヒートスプレッダ)
 続いて、LED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23について詳細に説明する。図2は、本実施形態におけるLED基板22およびLED基板22に結合されたヒートスプレッダ23の概略構造を示す斜視図である。
(LED substrate and heat spreader)
Next, the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 will be described in detail. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 coupled to the LED substrate 22 in the present embodiment.
 LED基板22は、バックライトシャーシ等が用いられることなく、ヒートスプレッダ23を介して、バックキャビネット24の液晶パネル15側の面に取り付けられている。これにより、少ない部品点数およびコストで、光源基板の放熱と、光源基板のバックキャビネットへの取り付けとを実現することができる。また、組み立て工程を簡略化することができる。特に、各LED基板22に結合されるヒートスプレッダ23の夫々の形状が互いに同一であれば、よりコストを低減することができる。 The LED substrate 22 is attached to the surface of the back cabinet 24 on the liquid crystal panel 15 side via a heat spreader 23 without using a backlight chassis or the like. Thereby, heat dissipation of the light source substrate and attachment of the light source substrate to the back cabinet can be realized with a small number of parts and cost. In addition, the assembly process can be simplified. In particular, if the shapes of the heat spreaders 23 coupled to the LED substrates 22 are the same, the cost can be further reduced.
 LED基板22は平板状であり、短冊形の形状を有している。また、LED基板22のうち、バックキャビネット24の側とは反対側の面には、LED基板22の長手方向Yに沿って複数のLED素子(光源)220が配列(並んで配置)されている。このように、LED基板22には、複数のLED素子220が設けられており、LED基板22を用いることにより、複数のLED素子220を簡易に表示装置1内に配置することができる。 The LED substrate 22 is flat and has a strip shape. Further, a plurality of LED elements (light sources) 220 are arranged (arranged side by side) along the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22 on the surface of the LED substrate 22 opposite to the back cabinet 24 side. . Thus, the LED substrate 22 is provided with a plurality of LED elements 220, and by using the LED substrate 22, the plurality of LED elements 220 can be easily arranged in the display device 1.
 なお、図示しないが、LED基板22の長手方向Yの一方の端部には、表示装置のメイン回路に電気的に接続するためのコネクタが設けられていてもよい。また、その場合、LED基板22に、当該コネクタと各LED素子220とを電気的に接続するための回路が設けられていてもよい(図示せず)。 Although not shown, a connector for electrically connecting to the main circuit of the display device may be provided at one end in the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22. In that case, a circuit for electrically connecting the connector and each LED element 220 may be provided on the LED board 22 (not shown).
 そして、図3に示すように、バックキャビネット24にLED基板22を複数列並べることにより、液晶表示装置のバックライトとして好適な平面光源を得ることができる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 3, by arranging a plurality of LED substrates 22 in the back cabinet 24, a flat light source suitable as a backlight of a liquid crystal display device can be obtained.
 なお、本実施形態では、光源としてLED素子を用いた場合を例に挙げて説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えば、光源として、蛍光管などLED素子以外の光源を用いる構成を採用してもよい。 In this embodiment, the case where an LED element is used as the light source has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a light source other than the LED element such as a fluorescent tube is used as the light source. You may employ | adopt the structure to be used.
 また、LED基板22の数および各LED基板22に配置される光源の数は特に限定されない。 Further, the number of LED boards 22 and the number of light sources arranged on each LED board 22 are not particularly limited.
 ヒートスプレッダ23は、LED基板22の裏面(バックキャビネット24側の面)に結合する底面部23aと、底面部23aの短手方向Xの両端からバックキャビネット24側に折れ曲がる一対の側面部23bおよび23cとを備えている。このようなヒートスプレッダ23は、例えば、一枚の金属板を折り曲げることによって容易に構成することができる。なお、底面部23aと側面部23bまたは側面部23cとの角度は90度程度であることが好ましい。 The heat spreader 23 includes a bottom surface portion 23a coupled to the back surface (the surface on the back cabinet 24 side) of the LED substrate 22, and a pair of side surface portions 23b and 23c that are bent from both ends of the bottom surface portion 23a in the lateral direction X toward the back cabinet 24 It has. Such a heat spreader 23 can be easily configured, for example, by bending a single metal plate. The angle between the bottom surface portion 23a and the side surface portion 23b or the side surface portion 23c is preferably about 90 degrees.
 このように、底面部23aならびに側面部23bおよび23cからなるヒートスプレッダ23を用いることにより、簡易な構成で、LED基板22の放熱効率を向上させ、LED基板22の反りを抑制することができる。すなわち、底面部23aの短手方向Xの両端からバックキャビネット24側に折れ曲がる一対の側面部23bおよび23cを備えていることにより、(i)ヒートスプレッダ23の表面積を広くして、気中への放熱効果を向上させることができるため、ヒートスプレッダ23に結合されたLED基板22の放熱効率を向上させることができると共に、(ii)ヒートスプレッダ23の剛性を高めることができるため、ヒートスプレッダ23に結合されたLED基板22の反りを抑制することができる。これにより、LED基板22をバックキャビネット24に取り付けた場合であっても、LED基板22の放熱効率を十分に確保し、LED基板22の反りを抑制することができる。また、バックキャビネット24の強度を補強する効果も有する。また、ヒートスプレッダ23を軽量に構成することができる。 Thus, by using the heat spreader 23 including the bottom surface portion 23a and the side surface portions 23b and 23c, the heat dissipation efficiency of the LED substrate 22 can be improved and the warpage of the LED substrate 22 can be suppressed with a simple configuration. That is, by providing a pair of side surface portions 23b and 23c that bend toward the back cabinet 24 from both ends in the short side direction X of the bottom surface portion 23a, (i) the heat spreader 23 has a large surface area to dissipate heat into the air. Since the effect can be improved, the heat dissipation efficiency of the LED substrate 22 coupled to the heat spreader 23 can be improved, and (ii) the rigidity of the heat spreader 23 can be increased, so that the LED coupled to the heat spreader 23 can be improved. Warpage of the substrate 22 can be suppressed. Thereby, even if it is a case where the LED board 22 is attached to the back cabinet 24, sufficient heat dissipation efficiency of the LED board 22 is ensured, and the curvature of the LED board 22 can be suppressed. Moreover, it also has an effect of reinforcing the strength of the back cabinet 24. Further, the heat spreader 23 can be configured to be lightweight.
 なお、本実施形態では、ヒートスプレッダ23は、底面部23aの短手方向Xの両端からバックキャビネット24側に折れ曲がる一対の側面部23bおよび23cを備えているが、本発明では、放熱板は、底面部の短手方向Xの少なくとも一方の端部からバックキャビネット側に折れ曲がっている側面部を備えていればよい。 In the present embodiment, the heat spreader 23 includes a pair of side surface portions 23b and 23c that are bent from both ends of the bottom surface portion 23a in the short direction X toward the back cabinet 24 side. What is necessary is just to provide the side part bent to the back cabinet side from the at least one edge part of the transversal direction X of a part.
 さらに詳細には、本実施形態に係るヒートスプレッダ23は、側面部23bおよび23cの短手方向Zの長さが互いに同一であり、長手方向Yと垂直な断面が略U字状(いわゆる「コの字状」)である。 More specifically, in the heat spreader 23 according to the present embodiment, the lengths of the side surfaces 23b and 23c in the short direction Z are the same, and the cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y is substantially U-shaped (so-called Character shape)).
 また、側面部23bおよび23cの先端(短手方向Zにおける底面部23aとは反対側の端部)には、後述するバックキャビネット24に設けられた爪244によって固定されるための鉤構造が形成されている。 In addition, a hook structure is formed at the tips of the side surfaces 23b and 23c (the end opposite to the bottom surface 23a in the lateral direction Z) by a claw 244 provided in the back cabinet 24 described later. Has been.
 ヒートスプレッダ23は、金属などの、放熱性がLED基板22に比べて高い物質によって形成されることが好ましい。これにより、LED基板22の放熱効率をより向上させることができる。例えば、これに限定するものではないが、ヒートスプレッダ23はSPTEによって形成することができる。 The heat spreader 23 is preferably formed of a material such as a metal that has a higher heat dissipation than the LED substrate 22. Thereby, the thermal radiation efficiency of LED board 22 can be improved more. For example, although not limited to this, the heat spreader 23 can be formed by SPTE.
 なお、底面部23a、側面部23bおよび側面部23cは、平面である必要は無く、一部または全部が曲面であってもよい。 Note that the bottom surface portion 23a, the side surface portion 23b, and the side surface portion 23c do not have to be flat surfaces, and some or all of them may be curved surfaces.
 ヒートスプレッダ23とLED基板22とは、熱伝導する態様で結合していればよい。例えば、これに限定するものではないが、ヒートスプレッダ23とLED基板22とは、熱伝導両面テープによって結合されてもよい。 The heat spreader 23 and the LED substrate 22 only need to be coupled in a thermally conductive manner. For example, but not limited to this, the heat spreader 23 and the LED substrate 22 may be coupled by a heat conductive double-sided tape.
 なお、ヒートスプレッダ23が金属のような導電体によって構成されている場合、LED基板22のアース電位部と、ヒートスプレッダ23とは、電気的に接続されていてもよい。これにより、導電体からなるヒートスプレッダ23をLED基板22のグランド接続のための経路として用いることができるとともに、導電体からなるヒートスプレッダ23が電気的に浮いている場合に生じ得る悪影響を回避することができる。 In addition, when the heat spreader 23 is configured by a conductor such as metal, the ground potential portion of the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 may be electrically connected. Accordingly, the heat spreader 23 made of a conductor can be used as a path for ground connection of the LED substrate 22, and an adverse effect that may occur when the heat spreader 23 made of a conductor is electrically floating can be avoided. it can.

The LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 may be provided with a structure for fixing to the back cabinet 24 (for example, a nail for fitting, a notch, etc.).
 また、LED素子220とLED基板22との間には、LED素子220から出射される光を液晶パネル15側に反射する反射シートが設けられていてもよい。反射シートは必ずしも必要となるわけではないが、反射シートを用いることによってLED基板22またはバックキャビネット24側に照射される光を有効に利用し、液晶パネル15に向けて出射される光量を増やすことができる。反射シートは、例えば、発泡PET(Polyethylene Terephthalate)などに代表されるポリエステルから形成されており、光の反射特性を有するものであり得る。なお、反射シートは、入射した光が正反射するシートであってもよいが、乱反射するシートであることがより好ましい。 Further, a reflection sheet that reflects light emitted from the LED element 220 toward the liquid crystal panel 15 may be provided between the LED element 220 and the LED substrate 22.

 図3は、バックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22の配置位置を示す斜視図である。図3に示すように、LED基板22は、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設されている。
(Attaching the LED board and heat spreader to the back cabinet)
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an arrangement position of the LED substrate 22 with respect to the back cabinet 24. As shown in FIG. 3, the LED substrates 22 are juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel 15 with the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 facing the lateral direction of the liquid crystal panel 15.
 また、図4は、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22の配置位置を示す断面図であり、液晶パネル15の短手方向に垂直な断面を示す。LED基板22は、液晶パネル15の裏面(バックキャビネット24側の面)に沿うように配置されている。 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the arrangement position of the LED substrate 22 with respect to the back cabinet 24 in the present embodiment, and shows a cross section perpendicular to the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. The LED substrate 22 is disposed along the back surface (the surface on the back cabinet 24 side) of the liquid crystal panel 15.
 このように、複数のLED基板22は、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設されている。複数のLED基板22を、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設することにより、液晶パネル15にバックライトを照射するための平面光源を好適に構成することができる。特に、LED基板22が液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置されているため、液晶パネル15に対して、均一にバックライトを照射することができる。そして、LED基板22の長手方向Yが、液晶パネル15の湾曲方向(弧)に対して直交する方向を向いているため、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置したとしても、LED基板22を、湾曲させる必要が無い。ゆえに、LED基板22にストレスが掛かることがなく、LED基板22を湾曲させるための加工コストも必要ない。 As described above, the plurality of LED substrates 22 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel 15 so as to be along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 in a state where the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 faces the short side direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. It is installed. By arranging a plurality of LED substrates 22 in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel 15 with the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 facing the lateral direction of the liquid crystal panel 15, the backlight is applied to the liquid crystal panel 15. Therefore, it is possible to suitably configure a planar light source. In particular, since the LED substrate 22 is arranged along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15, the backlight can be uniformly irradiated to the liquid crystal panel 15. And since the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22 faces the direction orthogonal to the bending direction (arc) of the liquid crystal panel 15, even if the LED substrate 22 is arranged along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15, The LED substrate 22 does not need to be curved. Therefore, the LED substrate 22 is not stressed, and the processing cost for bending the LED substrate 22 is not necessary.
 ここで、本実施形態では、各LED基板22を、液晶パネル15の裏面(バックキャビネット24側の面)に沿うように配置するために、図4に示すように、バックキャビネット24にボス(突起部)243を設けている。 Here, in this embodiment, in order to arrange each LED board 22 along the back surface (the surface on the back cabinet 24 side) of the liquid crystal panel 15, as shown in FIG. Part) 243 is provided.
 ボス243は、爪244を備えており、爪244によって、ヒートスプレッダ23の側面部23bおよび23cの先端を固定する。また、ボス243の高さ(バックキャビネット24の底面からの距離)を調整することにより、ボス243に固定されるLED基板22の高さを調整することができる。 The boss 243 includes a claw 244, and the front ends of the side surface portions 23 b and 23 c of the heat spreader 23 are fixed by the claw 244. Moreover, the height of the LED substrate 22 fixed to the boss 243 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the boss 243 (distance from the bottom surface of the back cabinet 24).
 このように、側面部23bおよび23cの短手方向Zの幅が互いに同一であるヒートスプレッダ23を用いる場合、(i)バックキャビネット24に、バックキャビネット24の底面に対するLED基板22の高さを調整するためのボス243を形成し、(ii)ボス243に側面部23bおよび23cを固定することにより、バックキャビネット24の底面に対するLED基板22の高さを容易に調整することができる。これにより、LED基板22を、より容易に、図4に示すように、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置することができる。 Thus, when using the heat spreader 23 with the width | variety of the short side direction Z of the side parts 23b and 23c mutually being used, (i) The height of the LED board 22 with respect to the bottom face of the back cabinet 24 is adjusted to the back cabinet 24. Therefore, the height of the LED substrate 22 with respect to the bottom surface of the back cabinet 24 can be easily adjusted by forming the boss 243 and (ii) fixing the side surface portions 23b and 23c to the boss 243. Thereby, the LED board 22 can be arrange | positioned along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 more easily as shown in FIG.
 各ボス243の高さは、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置するように調整されていればよく、例えば、バックキャビネット24を正面から見たときの左右方向の中心から離れた位置にあるボス243程、高さが高くなるように調整することができる。 The height of each boss 243 may be adjusted so that the LED substrate 22 is arranged along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15. For example, the height of each boss 243 is away from the center in the left-right direction when the back cabinet 24 is viewed from the front. The height of the boss 243 at a certain position can be adjusted to be higher.
 また、図4に示すように、ボス243におけるヒートスプレッダ23が固定される面の傾きは、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように設定されていることが好ましい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the inclination of the surface to which the heat spreader 23 is fixed in the boss 243 is set along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15.
 なお、ボス243は、LED基板22の全長に亘って、LED基板22の直下に設けてもよいが、LED基板22の数カ所(例えば、LED基板22の長手方向Yの両端部および中央部)の直下のみに設けてもよい。これによっても、同等の効果を奏することができる。また、ボス243が設けられていない位置において、LED基板22をバックキャビネット24に取り付けてもよい。 The bosses 243 may be provided directly below the LED substrate 22 over the entire length of the LED substrate 22, but at several places (for example, both end portions and the central portion in the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22) of the LED substrate 22. It may be provided only directly below. This also has the same effect. Further, the LED substrate 22 may be attached to the back cabinet 24 at a position where the boss 243 is not provided.
 また、ボス243が、ヒートスプレッダ23を固定するための機構は爪244に限定されず、爪244の替わりに、他の構成を用いてもよい。 Further, the mechanism for fixing the heat spreader 23 by the boss 243 is not limited to the claw 244, and another configuration may be used instead of the claw 244.
 続いて、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付け方法について、図5、図6および図7を参照して詳細に説明する。以下では、説明の簡略化のために、ボス243を省略して説明する。図5は、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付け方法を示す斜視図である。図6は、バックキャビネット24におけるLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23のための機構を示す斜視図である。図7は、バックキャビネット24におけるLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23のための機構およびヒートスプレッダ23を示す斜視図である。なお、図7では、説明の簡略化のために、LED基板22を省略している。 Subsequently, a method for attaching the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 to the back cabinet 24 in the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7.

 図6に示すように、バックキャビネット24には、爪244がレールのように形成されている。そして、図7に示すように、爪244に側面部23bおよび23cの先端が引っ掛かるように、ヒートスプレッダ23を爪244と爪244との間に挿入し、爪244の形成方向に沿ってスライドさせることにより、図5に示すように、ヒートスプレッダ23をバックキャビネット24に取り付けることができる。 As shown in FIG. 6, the back cabinet 24 has claws 244 formed like rails. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the heat spreader 23 is inserted between the claw 244 and the claw 244 so that the tips of the side surfaces 23 b and 23 c are caught on the claw 244, and is slid along the forming direction of the claw 244. Thus, the heat spreader 23 can be attached to the back cabinet 24 as shown in FIG.
 なお、バックキャビネット24には、ヒートスプレッダ23を所定の位置までスライドさせたときに、ヒートスプレッダ23を固定するような構造が設けられていることが好ましい。例えば、LED基板22またはヒートスプレッダ23に切り欠きが設けられており、バックキャビネット24に、ヒートスプレッダ23を所定の位置までスライドさせたときに、当該切り欠きに嵌合するような突起が設けられていてもよい。 The back cabinet 24 is preferably provided with a structure for fixing the heat spreader 23 when the heat spreader 23 is slid to a predetermined position.

 〔実施形態2〕
 本発明の他の実施形態(実施形態2)について説明すれば、以下のとおりである。なお、実施形態2は、実施形態1と、ヒートスプレッダ23の構造およびバックキャビネット24におけるヒートスプレッダ23の固定のための構造が異なっている。以下では、実施形態1と異なる部分についてのみ説明し、実施形態1と同様の部分については説明を省略する。
[Embodiment 2]
Another embodiment (Embodiment 2) of the present invention will be described as follows. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the structure of the heat spreader 23 and the structure for fixing the heat spreader 23 in the back cabinet 24. Below, only a different part from Embodiment 1 is demonstrated, and description is abbreviate | omitted about the part similar to Embodiment 1. FIG.
 図8は、本実施形態におけるLED基板22およびLED基板22に結合されたヒートスプレッダ23の概略構造を示す斜視図である。図8に示すように、本実施形態に係るヒートスプレッダ23は、一方の側面部(側面部23b)の方が、他方の側面部(側面部23c)よりも、短手方向Zの長さが長くなっており、長手方向Yと垂直な断面が略「J」の字状(いわゆる「つの字状」)である。 FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a schematic structure of the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 coupled to the LED substrate 22 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, in the heat spreader 23 according to the present embodiment, one side surface portion (side surface portion 23b) is longer in the short side direction Z than the other side surface portion (side surface portion 23c). The cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction Y has a substantially “J” shape (so-called “two-letter shape”).
 また、側面部23cの先端(短手方向Zにおける底面部23aとは反対側の端部)には、後述するバックキャビネット24に設けられた爪241に固定されるための鉤構造が形成されている。 Further, a hook structure for fixing to a claw 241 provided on the back cabinet 24 described later is formed at the tip of the side surface portion 23c (the end portion on the opposite side to the bottom surface portion 23a in the short side direction Z). Yes.
 図9は、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22の配置位置を示す断面図であり、液晶パネル15の短手方向に垂直な断面を示す。LED基板22は、液晶パネル15の裏面(バックキャビネット24側の面)に沿うように配置されている。 FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing an arrangement position of the LED substrate 22 with respect to the back cabinet 24 in the present embodiment, and shows a cross section perpendicular to the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. The LED substrate 22 is disposed along the back surface (the surface on the back cabinet 24 side) of the liquid crystal panel 15.
 このように、本実施形態においても、複数のLED基板22が、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設されている。複数のLED基板22を、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設することにより、液晶パネル15にバックライトを照射するための平面光源を好適に構成することができる。特に、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置されているため、液晶パネル15に対して、均一にバックライトを照射することができる。そして、LED基板22の長手方向Yが、液晶パネル15の湾曲方向(弧)に対して直交する方向を向いているため、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置したとしても、LED基板22を、湾曲させる必要が無い。ゆえに、LED基板22にストレスが掛かることがなく、LED基板22を湾曲させるための加工コストも必要ない。 As described above, also in this embodiment, the plurality of LED substrates 22 are arranged so that the liquid crystal panel 15 extends along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 in a state where the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 faces the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. 15 are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction. By arranging a plurality of LED substrates 22 in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel 15 with the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 facing the lateral direction of the liquid crystal panel 15, the backlight is applied to the liquid crystal panel 15. Therefore, it is possible to suitably configure a planar light source. In particular, since the LED substrate 22 is disposed along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15, the backlight can be uniformly irradiated to the liquid crystal panel 15. And since the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22 faces the direction orthogonal to the bending direction (arc) of the liquid crystal panel 15, even if the LED substrate 22 is arranged along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15, The LED substrate 22 does not need to be curved. Therefore, the LED substrate 22 is not stressed, and the processing cost for bending the LED substrate 22 is not necessary.
 ここで、本実施形態では、各LED基板22を、液晶パネル15の裏面(バックキャビネット24側の面)に沿うように配置するために、図9に示すように、バックキャビネット24に爪241およびスリット(溝部)242を設けている。 Here, in this embodiment, in order to arrange each LED board 22 along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 (the surface on the back cabinet 24 side), as shown in FIG. A slit (groove) 242 is provided.
 爪241によって、ヒートスプレッダ23の側面部23cの先端を固定することができる。また、スリット242には、ヒートスプレッダ23の側面部23bが挿入され、側面部23bが固定される。ここで、スリット242の深さを調整することにより、LED基板22の高さ(バックキャビネット24の底面からの距離)を調整することができる。また、合わせて爪241の高さを調整すれば、LED基板22の高さおよび傾きをより厳密に調整することができる。 The tip of the side surface portion 23c of the heat spreader 23 can be fixed by the claw 241. Moreover, the side part 23b of the heat spreader 23 is inserted in the slit 242, and the side part 23b is fixed. Here, by adjusting the depth of the slit 242, the height of the LED substrate 22 (distance from the bottom surface of the back cabinet 24) can be adjusted. Moreover, if the height of the nail | claw 241 is adjusted collectively, the height and inclination of the LED board 22 can be adjusted more strictly.
 このように、側面部23bの方が側面部23cよりも短手方向Zの幅が長くなっているヒートスプレッダ23を用いる場合、バックキャビネット24に、側面部23bを挿入し、LED基板22の高さを調整するためのスリット242を形成することにより、バックキャビネット24の底面に対するLED基板22の高さを容易に調整することができる。これにより、LED基板22を、より容易に、図9に示すように、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置することができる。 Thus, when using the heat spreader 23 in which the width of the lateral direction Z is longer in the lateral direction 23b than in the lateral direction 23c, the lateral side 23b is inserted into the back cabinet 24 and the height of the LED substrate 22 is increased. By forming the slits 242 for adjusting the height, the height of the LED substrate 22 relative to the bottom surface of the back cabinet 24 can be easily adjusted. Thereby, the LED board 22 can be arrange | positioned along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 more easily as shown in FIG.
 各スリット242の深さは、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置するように調整されていればよく、例えば、バックキャビネット24を正面から見たときの左右方向の中心から離れた位置にあるスリット242程、深さが浅くなるように調整することができる。 The depth of each slit 242 should just be adjusted so that LED board 22 may be arranged so that the back of liquid crystal panel 15 may be met, for example, it is separated from the center of the horizontal direction when back cabinet 24 is seen from the front. The slit 242 located at a different position can be adjusted to be shallower.
 また、爪241の高さを調整することにより、図9に示すように、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うようにLED基板22の傾きが調整されていることが好ましい。 Further, it is preferable that the inclination of the LED substrate 22 is adjusted along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 by adjusting the height of the claw 241 as shown in FIG.
 なお、スリット242は、LED基板22の全長に亘って、LED基板22の直下に設けられていることが好ましい。一方、爪241については、LED基板22の数カ所(例えば、LED基板22の長手方向Yの両端部および中央部)の直下のみに設けてもよい。これによっても、同等の効果を奏することができる。 The slit 242 is preferably provided directly below the LED substrate 22 over the entire length of the LED substrate 22. On the other hand, the claw 241 may be provided only directly below several places of the LED substrate 22 (for example, both ends and the central portion in the longitudinal direction Y of the LED substrate 22). This also has the same effect.
 また、バックキャビネット24が、側面部23cを固定するための機構は爪241に限定されず、爪241の替わりに、他の構成を用いてもよい。 Further, the mechanism for the back cabinet 24 to fix the side surface portion 23 c is not limited to the claw 241, and another configuration may be used instead of the claw 241.
 続いて、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付け方法について、図10、図11および図12を参照して詳細に説明する。図10は、本実施形態におけるバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付け方法を示す斜視図である。図11は、バックキャビネット24におけるLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付けのための機構を示す斜視図である。図12は、バックキャビネット24におけるLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付けのための機構およびヒートスプレッダ23を示す斜視図である。なお、図12では、説明の簡略化のために、LED基板22を省略している。 Subsequently, a method for attaching the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 to the back cabinet 24 in the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 10, 11, and 12. FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a method for attaching the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 to the back cabinet 24 in the present embodiment. FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing a mechanism for attaching the LED board 22 and the heat spreader 23 in the back cabinet 24. FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a mechanism for attaching the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 and the heat spreader 23 in the back cabinet 24. In FIG. 12, the LED substrate 22 is omitted for simplification of description.
 図11に示すように、バックキャビネット24には、爪241およびスリット242が互いに沿うように形成されている。そして、図12に示すように、スリット242に側面部23bが挿入され、爪241に側面部23cの先端が引っ掛かるように、爪241およびスリット242にヒートスプレッダ23を挿入し、爪241およびスリット242の形成方向に沿ってスライドさせることにより、図10に示すように、ヒートスプレッダ23をバックキャビネット24に取り付けることができる。 As shown in FIG. 11, the back cabinet 24 is formed with claws 241 and slits 242 along each other. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the heat spreader 23 is inserted into the claw 241 and the slit 242 so that the side surface portion 23 b is inserted into the slit 242 and the tip of the side surface portion 23 c is caught by the claw 241. By sliding along the forming direction, the heat spreader 23 can be attached to the back cabinet 24 as shown in FIG.
 なお、バックキャビネット24には、ヒートスプレッダ23を所定の位置までスライドさせたときに、ヒートスプレッダ23を固定するような構造が設けられていることが好ましい。例えば、LED基板22またはヒートスプレッダ23に切り欠きが設けられており、バックキャビネット24に、ヒートスプレッダ23を所定の位置までスライドさせたときに、当該切り欠きに嵌合するような突起が設けられていてもよい。 The back cabinet 24 is preferably provided with a structure for fixing the heat spreader 23 when the heat spreader 23 is slid to a predetermined position. For example, the LED board 22 or the heat spreader 23 is provided with a notch, and the back cabinet 24 is provided with a protrusion that fits into the notch when the heat spreader 23 is slid to a predetermined position. Also good.
 なお、上述したバックキャビネット24に対するLED基板22およびヒートスプレッダ23の取り付け方法は一例であり、LED基板22をバックキャビネット24に固定することができる態様である限り、適宜変更することができる。 The above-described method of attaching the LED substrate 22 and the heat spreader 23 to the back cabinet 24 is an example, and can be changed as appropriate as long as the LED substrate 22 can be fixed to the back cabinet 24.
 〔実施形態3〕

 実施形態1および実施形態2では、バックキャビネット24(の液晶パネル15側の面)は、平面状であったが、バックキャビネット24(の液晶パネル15側の面)は、弧を描くように湾曲しており、当該弧は液晶パネル15の短手方向に直交していてもよい。このような構成においても、複数のLED基板22を、各LED基板22の長手方向Yが液晶パネル15の短手方向に向いた状態で、液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように液晶パネル15の長手方向に並設することが好ましい。これにより、LED基板22の長手方向Yが、バックキャビネット24の湾曲方向に対して直交する方向を向いているため、LED基板22を、湾曲させることなく、バックキャビネット24に取り付けることができるからである。また、LED基板22を液晶パネル15の裏面に沿うように配置することにより、液晶パネル15に対して、均一にバックライトを照射することができる。LED基板22のバックキャビネット24への取り付け方法およびLED基板22の高さの調整方法は、例えば、実施形態1または実施形態2と同様に行うことができる。 In the first and second embodiments, the back cabinet 24 (the surface on the liquid crystal panel 15 side) is flat, but the back cabinet 24 (the surface on the liquid crystal panel 15 side) is curved to draw an arc. The arc may be orthogonal to the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. Even in such a configuration, the plurality of LED substrates 22 are arranged so that the longitudinal direction of the liquid crystal panel 15 extends along the back surface of the liquid crystal panel 15 with the longitudinal direction Y of each LED substrate 22 facing the short direction of the liquid crystal panel 15. It is preferable to arrange in parallel. Thereby, since the longitudinal direction Y of the LED board 22 faces the direction orthogonal to the bending direction of the back cabinet 24, the LED board 22 can be attached to the back cabinet 24 without being bent. is there.
