Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent uneven display on a liquid display device due to heat generation by a light source by installing a heat radiating means near a light source reflection plate where the reflection of light from an illuminator and a light transmission function are not affected. CONSTITUTION:The end part on the side of a light diffusing plate 5 of the light source reflection plate 4 can be held by a light source holding part 3, and the end part does not reach the effective surface area of a liquid crystal display panel 7 in terms of length. But, the end part on the side of the light reflection plate 8 of the light source reflection plate 4 is provided with an extension part 9 extending up to the effective surface area of the liquid crystal display panel 7. The extension part 9 is extended up to an area reaching the effective surface area of the liquid crystal display panel 7 on the side of the light reflection plate 8 of the light source reflection plate 4. Thus, the quantity of heat transmitted from the light source 1 is effectively dissipated by the extension part 9. In order to more effectively dissipate the heat by the extension part 9 lying on the side of the light reflection plate 8 of the light source reflection plate 4, it is preferable to form the extension part 9 so that the surface area per unit-area of the extension part 9 may become substantially larger than the area of a flat part.

2. Description of the Related Art Liquid crystal display devices are widely used as character displays for numbers, characters and symbols because of their thinness, light weight and low power consumption. The liquid crystal display itself discriminates by utilizing transmitted light or reflected light by controlling the shape of liquid crystal molecules depending on whether or not a voltage is applied.

With respect to the problem of causing uneven display unevenness on the liquid crystal display panel due to heat generated from the light source of the lighting device,
The heat generation of the light source itself cannot be suppressed. Therefore, just as the transmitted light is uniform in the effective surface area of the liquid crystal display panel, it is also necessary to make the amount of heat conduction uniform so that there is no practical problem.

Alternatively, even if the amount of heat conduction in the effective surface area of the liquid crystal display panel is not uniform, the amount of heat conduction to the liquid crystal display panel itself should be reduced to the extent that display unevenness does not substantially occur. . Here, since the heat conduction amount is larger in the portion closer to the light source, the heat conduction amount itself can be reduced by absorbing or dissipating the heat in the portion closer to the light source.

However, as a means for absorbing or dissipating such a quantity of heat, it is necessary to avoid affecting the function of the member for reflecting or guiding the light from the light source in the structure of the lighting device. Therefore, a means for absorbing or dissipating the amount of heat in the portion close to the light source is configured without affecting the function of the member that reflects or guides the light from the light source.
