That is, the lamp housing 35 fixes the light guide plate and the reflecting plate stacked below the main frame while mainly surrounding the backlight inserted into the main frame edge.

The inner wall of the lamp housing 35 codes a reflective film made of silver, so that light that is opposite to the light guide plate among the light generated in the backlight is reflected as much as possible inside the lamp housing 35 to be incident toward the light guide plate. For the sake of it.

As described above, the heat generated by the light reflected from the backlight is large and heat is generated by the lights. This heat generation not only affects the lamp housing 35, but heat conduction proceeds through the lamp housing 35. And transmitted to the optical sheets, the reflector and the light guide plate.
