Abstract
Description
上記特許文献1に開示されたバックライト装置では、並列駆動可能なCCFLの構造が具備されている。すなわち、特許文献1には、並列に接続された複数個の冷陰極線管ランプと、その複数個の冷陰極線管ランプの両端にそれぞれ接続されて、冷陰極線管ランプに供給される電流量を均一化するコンデンサと、該コンデンサに接続されて冷陰極線管ランプへの駆動電力を供給するインバータと、を含む構成が開示されている。このような構成により、CCFLを並列駆動して、均一な輝度を得ることが可能とされている。ところが特許文献1では、各冷陰極線管ランプに対するコンデンサの配置についての詳細は開示されておらず、各冷陰極線管の両端にコンデンサが接続されるという構成のみが開示されているに過ぎない。
また、本発明は、そのような照明装置を備えた表示装置、さらにはそのような表示装置を備えたテレビ受信装置を提供することを目的としている。
上記課題を解決するために、本発明の照明装置は、並列配置される複数の放電管と、前記複数の放電管を並列駆動するための駆動電力を供給する電源と、を備え、前記放電管の各々には、当該放電管の一方端側と他方端側に対してそれぞれ逆位相の前記駆動電力が供給されており、並列配置された前記放電管の各々における同一方向の片端側のみに、前記電源と前記放電管の各々との間に介在して、前記複数の放電管の各々に供給される前記駆動電力の電流量を均一化するコンデンサが接続されていることを特徴とする。
このように1つのトランスで逆位相の駆動電力を出力するものとすれば、更なるコスト削減を実現することが可能となる。
両側に駆動電力が供給される照明装置において、放電管に対する駆動電力の供給態様として、コンデンサが接続された片端側に、コンデンサが接続されていない他端側よりも高電圧の駆動電力を供給するものとすれば、放電管の仮想グランドの位置が中心にシフトされ、輝度の左右対称性を高めることが可能となる。なお、本発明において「放電管の一方端側と他方端側に対してそれぞれ逆位相の前記駆動電力が供給される」は、言い換えると「放電管の一方端側と他方端側に対し、それぞれグランド電位に対して逆位相の高電位が付与されている」ということができる。
このようなトランスにより、コンデンサが接続された片端側に、コンデンサが接続されていない他端側よりも高電圧の駆動電力を供給することが可能となるとともに、更なるコスト削減を実現することが可能となる。
このように、放電管の端部を支持する支持部材上に上記構成の接続端子を備えるものとすれば、放電管の位置決めと放電管への通電を同時に行うことが可能となり、構成が簡便となるとともにコスト削減を実現可能となる。
このような構成によると、コンデンサが配置された側と配置されていない側の双方において、支持部材による放電管の位置決めと放電管への通電を同時に行うことが可能となり、更なる構成の簡便化を実現できるようになる。
放電管の片端側にコンデンサを配置する構成について、当該コンデンサを上記支持部材上に配置すれば、放電管の位置決めと放電管への通電に係る構成が一層簡便なものとなり、更なるコスト削減を実現可能となる。
このような口金を備えた放電管は、接続端子への組み付けと同時に当該口金と接続端子との電気的接続を実現することが可能となるなど、簡便な構成で、製造工程における大幅なコスト削減に寄与することができる。
特に、前記放電管は、線状のガラス管と、前記ガラス管の両端から当該ガラス管と同軸状に且つ直線状に突出するアウターリードと、当該アウターリードと電気的に接続されるとともに前記ガラス管の両端部に取り付けられた口金と、を備え、前記口金が、前記接続端子と電気的に接続してなるものとするのが良い。
この場合、口金等の外部電極を用いることなく、アウターリードを中継本体部の開口部に挿入することのみで、放電管に対して簡便に電気導通を図ることが可能となる。その結果、部品点数の削減により、コスト削減に寄与することが可能となる。また、中継本体部を導電ゴムで形成したため、当該導電ゴムの弾性変形を利用して、アウターリードを開口部へ挿入した状態で当該アウターリードと開口部の内面との確実な接触(導電)も確保可能となる。つまり、弾性接触によりアウターリードと開口部内面との間に僅かな位置ズレ(相対移動)が生じた場合にも両者の接触を確実に確保することが可能となる上、中継本体部(開口部)及び放電管(アウターリード)において製造上の寸法誤差等が生じた場合にも、当該弾性が誤差を吸収しアウターリードと開口部内面との接触を確実にとることができ、その点で導電性について高い信頼性を具備したものとなる。その結果、導電不良に基づく発光不良等が生じ難い照明装置を提供することが可能となるのである。さらに、中継本体部がゴムであることから、アウターリードは開口部内面に弾性接触しており、その結果、当該アウターリードに過剰の応力が掛かり難く、破損が生じ難いものとなり、発光不良等の不具合が生じ難い信頼性の高い照明装置を提供することが可能となる。
このように開口部がアウターリードの外径よりも小さい口径を有するものとすれば、開口部へのアウターリードの挿入により、当該開口部は弾性変形により拡口し、その弾性復帰力により、開口部内面はアウターリードに対して確実に弾性接触することとなる。その結果、上述したような確実な電気導通を確保することが可能となる。
この場合、中継電極が、端子部を載置面に載置した状態で放電管に対する駆動電力の供給が可能となるものとされ、しかも放電管を載置面側に付勢する付勢部材を中継電極と別体で具備してなるため、中継電極を極めて簡便な構成とすることができ、しかも放電管に対して確実に導通をとることが可能となる。つまり、付勢部材を中継電極と別体で設けたため、中継電極は載置面により端子部を載置するのみの構成で足り、クリップ等の保持部材により放電管を保持ないし固定するための構成が必要ないものとなり、構成を簡便化することが可能となるのである。具体的には、中継電極を載置面のみを有したチップ状ないし短冊状の電極、或いは放電管の下端側を受けるのみの構成である皿状ないし御椀状の電極等を例示することができる。
このように中継電極とコンデンサとを支持部材上に配設することで、放電管の位置決めと放電管への電力供給に係る構成が一層簡便なものとなる。
このような構成によると、導電性の弾性部材が弾性変形した状態で載置面と端子部との間に介在するため、端子部と載置面(中継電極)との導通を確実にとることが可能となる。つまり、付勢部材により端子部が載置面側に付勢されて当該端子部と載置面との接触が確実に行われるが、載置面側に弾性部材を付与することで、端子部と載置面との間に僅かな位置ズレ(相対移動)が生じた場合にも両者の接触を確実に確保することが可能となり、一層確実な導通を確保できるようになるのである。また、中継電極、放電管、及び付勢部材において製造上の寸法誤差等が生じた場合にも、当該弾性部材が誤差を吸収し端子部と載置面との接触を確実にとることができる。
放電管の端部を覆う放電管被覆部材を付勢部材として構成することで、当該照明装置の構成の簡便化を図ることが可能となる。放電管の端部には電極等を備える端子部が形成され得るが、そのような端子部は非発光部分となるため影が形成され、その影が照明光の中に映し出されることを防止するために放電管被覆部材により被覆することが好ましい。そこで、上記のように、放電管の端部を覆う放電管被覆部材により放電管を被覆し且つ放電管を載置面側に付勢することにより、簡便な構成で確実な導通を図ることができるのである。なお、放電管被覆部材の表面に光反射性を具備させることで、端部の影を隠す効果が一層効果的なものとなる。
このような構成によると、放電管被覆部材が過度に放電管を付勢し、当該放電管を傷つけたり破壊したりする不具合の発生を防止することが可能となる。つまり、緩衝部材により付勢力が緩和され、且つ適度な載置面との接触を確保することが可能となるのである。なお、緩衝部材は、例えばスポンジや布等の付勢力を吸収可能な部材を例示することができる。
このような構成によると、放電管被覆部材が過度に放電管を付勢し、当該放電管を傷つけたり破壊したりする不具合の発生を防止することが可能となる。つまり、弾性変形する付勢部により付勢力が緩和され、且つ適度な載置面との接触を確保することが可能となるのである。
このような構成により放電管の軸線方向への移動が規制され、例えば端子部と端子面との位置ズレに起因する導通不良等が生じ難いものとなる。つまり、放電管を把持しない載置面のみを有したような中継電極に対し、少なくとも軸線方向への移動を規制する部材(放電管移動規制部材)を設けておけば、確実な導通性を確保することが可能となるのである。
このような壁部材により、放電管の軸線方向への移動を確実に規制することができる。
このように端子部の下端側を受容する部材(円弧状受容部材)を備えることで、放電管(端子部)をある程度位置決めすることができるようになる。特に下端側を受容する構成であるため、放電管を挟持する構成に比して、当該円弧状受容部材が損傷することもなく、補強部材等の特別の部材を別途付加する必要もないものとなる。
このような半円以下の円弧形状を有した円弧状受容部材により、放電管の下端側のみを確実に受容することが可能となる。
このように導電性ゴムにより中継電極を構成することで、当該中継電極に対して弾性を付与することができる。そして、そのような弾性により端子部と載置面との間に僅かな位置ズレ(相対移動)が生じた場合にも両者の接触を確実に確保することが可能となり、一層確実な導通を確保できるようになる。また、中継電極、放電管、及び付勢部材において製造上の寸法誤差等が生じた場合にも、当該弾性が誤差を吸収し端子部と載置面との接触を確実にとることができる。
このような口金を備えたガラス管から構成される放電管に対して、上記のような中継電極を設けて通電を行うものとすれば、当該放電管に対する電力供給に係る構成を極めて簡便化することができるようになる。
このような表示装置によると、照明装置において構成の簡便化及びコスト削減を実現できるため、当該表示装置においてもコスト削減を実現することが可能となる。
本発明によると、複数の放電管を並列駆動する構成を備え、安価で動作性能に優れた照明装置を提供することが可能となる。また、本発明によると、そのような照明装置を備えた表示装置、さらにはそのような表示装置を備えたテレビ受信装置を提供することが可能となる。
以下、本発明を具体化した実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。
図1は本実施形態のテレビ受信装置TVの全体構成を示す分解斜視図であり、図2はテレビ受信装置TVが備える液晶表示装置(表示装置)10の全体構成を示す分解斜視図、図3は図2のA-A断面の構成を示す断面図である。また、図4は液晶表示装置10が備えるバックライト装置12の要部構成を示す正面図、図5は同バックライト装置12の要部構成のうち冷陰極管を省略して示す正面図、図6は同バックライト装置12の要部構成を示す背面図である。
まず、冷陰極管17の構成について説明する。
冷陰極管17は、図13に示すように、全体として細長く円形断面の直線状のガラス管134と、ガラス管134の両端からガラス管134と同軸状に且つ直線状に突出する円形断面の細長い金属製(例えば、ニッケル系、或いはコバルト系の金属)のアウターリード135と、ガラス管134の両端部に取り付けられる口金136とから構成される。ガラス管134の内部には水銀が封入され、ガラス管134の両端部は、加熱して溶融させることで概ね半球状に形成されている。そして、アウターリード135は、この半球部を貫通している。
対をなす弾性保持片138A,138Bのうち一方の第1弾性保持片138Aは、全体として後方へ(詳しくは、やや径方向内向きへ斜め方向に)片持ち状に延出した形態であって、その基端(前端)を支点として径方向に弾性撓みし得るようになっている。第1弾性保持片138Aの延出端部(後端部)には、径方向外側へ斜めに曲げられた屈曲部139が形成され、この屈曲部139の曲げの外側の面(つまり、内側に臨む面)はガラス管134の外周面に当接する接点となっている。この3本の第1弾性保持片138Aの接点を結ぶ仮想円は、本体137と同心の円形であり、この仮想円の径寸法は、第1弾性保持片138Aが弾性撓みしていない自由状態のときにガラス管134の外径よりも小さい寸法となっている。
次に、第1光源保持部材150の構成について説明する。
第1光源保持部材150は、冷陰極管17の端部を保持して当該冷陰極管17をシャーシ14に取り付ける機能を担うもので、細長い支持板(支持部材)151と、この支持板151の表面側に並設された複数のクリップ端子152と、各クリップ端子152に供給される駆動電力の電流量を均一化する複数のバラストコンデンサ56と、を備えて構成されている。
一対の弾性押圧片154は、ストッパ155とは反対側の側縁部に配置され、相手側の弾性押圧片154側へ膨らむように湾曲した形状をなしている。弾性押圧片154は、その間隔を拡開するように弾性撓みすることが可能であり、弾性押圧片154が弾性撓みしていない状態での一対の弾性押圧片154の最小間隔は、冷陰極管17のガラス管134の外径よりも小さい寸法となっている。
次に、第2光源保持部材250の構成について説明する。
第2光源保持部材250は、冷陰極管17の端部を保持して当該冷陰極管17をシャーシ14に取り付ける機能を担うもので、細長い支持板(支持部材)251と、この支持板251の表面側に並設された複数のクリップ端子252と、を備えて構成されている。なお、第1光源保持部材150とは異なり、バラストコンデンサを備えていない。
一対の弾性押圧片154は、ストッパ155とは反対側の側縁部に配置され、相手側の弾性押圧片154側へ膨らむように湾曲した形状をなしている。弾性押圧片154は、その間隔を拡開するように弾性撓みすることが可能であり、弾性押圧片154が弾性撓みしていない状態での一対の弾性押圧片154の最小間隔は、冷陰極管17のガラス管134の外径よりも小さい寸法となっている。
電源基板170は、図6に示すように、背面(シャーシ14と反対側の面)に回路が形成された回路基板172と、回路基板172の背面に実装された電子部品171と、回路基板172のシャーシ14側の面に取り付けられた基板コネクタ173とを備えている。電子部品171としてはトランス等を含み、これにより回路基板172は高周波電圧を生成するインバータ回路基板として構成されている。
冷陰極管17をクリップ端子152(252)に取り付ける際には、冷陰極管17を水平に向けた状態でシャーシ14の正面に接近させ、ガラス管134の端部と口金136を対向する一対の弾性押圧片154の間に正面側から嵌め込む(図15及び図16参照)。このとき、一対の弾性押圧片154が、口金136の本体137によって拡開するように弾性撓みさせられ、本体137が一対の弾性押圧片154の最小間隔部分を通過した後は、両弾性押圧片154が、その弾性復元力によって本体137をベース部153側に引き込み、本体137をベース部153に当接させ、これにより、冷陰極管17の取付けが完了する。
すなわち、クリップ端子152と電源基板170との間にバラストコンデンサ56を介在させ、これにより、クリップ端子152のそれぞれに供給される駆動電力の電流量を均一化するものとしているため、各冷陰極管17に供給する電流を均一(一定)化することが可能となり、共通の電源170により複数の冷陰極管17を並列駆動することが可能となる。さらに、バラストコンデンサ56が、冷陰極管17の片側のみ、つまり第1光源保持部材150のみに配置したものであるため、冷陰極管17の両側にコンデンサを配置した構成に比してコスト削減が図られている。
続いて、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。
本第2実施形態は、上記第1実施形態の第1光源保持部材150及び第2光源保持部材250に代えて第1光源保持部材(第1中継部材)350及び第2光源保持部材(第2中継部材)450を採用した点が上記第1実施形態と相違し、その他の構成部材については同一構成のため、上記第1実施形態と同一符号を付して説明を省略する場合がある。
まず、冷陰極管17の構成について説明する。
冷陰極管17は、細長い管状をなしており、その長さ方向(軸方向)をシャーシ14の長辺方向と一致させた状態で、かつ多数本が互いに平行に並んだ状態でシャーシ14内に収容されている(図20参照)。この冷陰極管17は、図27及び図28に示すように、両端が封止された細長いガラス管40と、ガラス管40の両端部の内側に封入された電極41と、電極41からガラス管40の外部に突出するアウターリード42とを備える。
次に、第1中継部材350の構成について説明する。
第1中継部材350は、冷陰極管17をシャーシ14に固定する部材として機能するとともに、電源基板170から冷陰極管17への電力供給を中継する部材として機能する。本実施形態の第1中継部材350は、シャーシ14の一方側縁部に沿って取り付けられ、図23及び図25に示すように、細長い絶縁基板からなる台座351と、この台座351上に配される導電膜(導電部)361と、この導電部361上に配される誘電材料層からなる誘電膜(誘電部)362と、この誘電膜362内に埋設されて自身の表面が当該中継部材350の表面から露出してなる中継本体部352と、を有して構成されている。
次に、第2中継部材450の構成について説明する。
第2中継部材450は、冷陰極管17をシャーシ14に固定する部材として機能するとともに、電源基板170から冷陰極管17への電力供給を中継する部材として機能する。本実施形態の第2中継部材450は、シャーシ14の他方側縁部(第1中継部材350とは反対側の側縁部)に沿って取り付けられ、図24及び図26に示すように、細長い絶縁基板からなる台座451と、この台座451上に配される導電膜(導電部)461と、この導電部461上に配される絶縁膜(絶縁部)462と、この絶縁膜462内に埋設された形で導電部461と直接接続し、自身の表面が当該中継部材450の表面から露出してなる中継本体部452と、を有して構成されている。
電源基板170は、第1実施形態と同様の構成を有し、第1中継部材350と第2中継部材450とにおいて、それぞれ逆位相の駆動電力、すなわちシャーシ14の電位に対して逆位相の高電位となるように駆動電力が供給されている。具体的には、図56に示すように、1つのトランス70から逆位相の駆動電力をそれぞれ出力するものとしており、当該トランス70は、1つの一次コイル71に対して、相対的に巻数の多い第1の二次コイル75と相対的に巻数の少ない第2の二次コイル76が配された構成を有している。これにより、冷陰極管17のコンデンサ356が接続された片端側(つまり第1中継部材350側)に、冷陰極管17のコンデンサが接続されていない他端側(つまり第2中継部材450)よりも高電圧の駆動電力が供給されている。
続いて、本発明の第3実施形態について説明する。
本第3実施形態は、上記第1実施形態の第1光源保持部材150及び第2光源保持部材250に代えて第1光源保持部材(第1電力中継基板)650及び第2光源保持部材(第2電力中継基板)750を採用した点が上記第1実施形態と相違し、その他の構成部材については同一構成のため、上記第1実施形態と同一符号を付して説明を省略する場合がある。
冷陰極管17は、第1実施形態と同様であり、ガラス管134の両端部に口金136を備えたものである(図13及び図14参照)。
次に、第1電力中継基板650の構成について説明する。
第1電力中継基板650は、冷陰極管17への電力供給を中継する部材として機能する。図38に示すように、第1電力中継基板650は、シャーシ14の一方側縁部に沿って取り付けられた細長い絶縁基板からなる台座651と、この台座651の表面側に取り付けられた複数の中継電極652と、各中継電極652に供給される駆動電力の電流量を均一化するチップコンデンサ656とを備えている。台座651には、図45に示すように各中継電極652と対応して3つずつの取付孔651Hが貫通して形成されている。
次に、第2電力中継基板750の構成について説明する。
第2電力中継基板750は、冷陰極管17への電力供給を中継する部材として機能する。図40に示すように、第2電力中継基板750は、シャーシ14の他方側縁部(第1電力中継基板750とは反対側の側縁部)に沿って取り付けられた細長い絶縁基板からなる台座751と、この台座751の表面側に取り付けられた複数の中継電極752と、を備えている。台座751には、図45に示すように各中継電極752と対応して3つずつの取付孔651Hが貫通して形成されている。
ランプホルダ19は、冷陰極管17の端部(口金136)を覆う部材であって、図44に示したような構成を有している。つまり、ランプホルダ19は、冷陰極管17の並列方向に延びる長手状の略箱型に形成され、表面が光反射性を有した白色の合成樹脂製とされている。また、ランプホルダ19は、その上面から冷陰極管17の中央側及びシャーシ14の底面側に向かって傾斜する傾斜カバー(傾斜部)26が延出しており、その傾斜カバー26には、冷陰極管17を挿通するための開口部19aが、冷陰極管17の数と同数で形成されている。冷陰極管17のうち、開口部72よりもランプホルダ19の内側に挿入された部分(覆われた部分)において、電力中継基板650(750)を介した電源基板170からの電気導通が行われるものとされている。そして、本実施形態では、図45に示すように、当該ランプホルダ19が冷陰極管17を上側(表面側)から押圧し、冷陰極管17を中継電極652(752)の載置面653a側へ付勢する機能を兼備している。
電源基板170は、第1実施形態と同様の構成を有し、第1電力中継基板650と第2電力中継基板750とにおいて、それぞれ逆位相の駆動電力、すなわちシャーシ14の電位に対して逆位相の高電位となるように駆動電力が供給されている。具体的には、図56に示すように、1つのトランス70から逆位相の駆動電力をそれぞれ出力するものとしており、当該トランス70は、1つの一次コイル71に対して、相対的に巻数の多い第1の二次コイル75と相対的に巻数の少ない第2の二次コイル76が配された構成を有している。これにより、冷陰極管17のコンデンサ656が接続された片端側(つまり第1電力中継基板650側)に、冷陰極管17のコンデンサが接続されていない他端側(つまり第2電力中継基板750)よりも高電圧の駆動電力が供給されている。
上記の中継電極652(752)を備えた電力中継基板650(750)及びランプホルダ19により、冷陰極管17に対する確実な電力供給が可能とされている。
まず、中継電極652(752)は、冷陰極管17の口金136をその載置面653aに載置した状態で、冷陰極管17に対する駆動電力の供給が可能となっており、逆に、冷陰極管17を保持するようなクリップ機構は備えていない。つまり、図45に示すように、中継電極652(752)とは別体で設けられるランプホルダ19にて付勢された冷陰極管17(ひいては口金136)を、板バネ652aの弾発力により受け止め、板バネ652aが載置面653aと口金136との間に弾性変形した状態で介在することで、口金136と中継電極652(752)(板バネ652aを含む)との確実な接触(導通)が実現されるものとなっている。
中継電極652(752)の一変形例として、図47及び図48に示すような構成のものを採用することができる。図47は第1変形例に係る中継電極852の構成を示す斜視図、図48は中継電極852と冷陰極管17の接続関係を示す説明図である。
図16に示した中継電極852は、上記実施形態と同様に、チップ状、詳しくは短冊状の導電性の金属材料からなるベース部853と、ベース部853の表面である載置面853aに形成された導電性の金属材料からなる板バネ(弾性部材)852aとを有して構成されている。また、上記実施形態と同様、載置面853aは平坦面とされ、板バネ852aは、ベース部853と導電位にあり、載置面853aに載置される冷陰極管17の口金136に対して弾反力を付与するもので、口金136から載置面853a側に付与される付勢力によって弾性変形するものとなっている。つまり、板バネ852aは、載置面853aと口金136との間に弾性変形した状態で介在するものとなる。
中継電極652(752)の異なる変形例として、図49及び図50に示すような構成のものを採用することができる。図49は第2変形例に係る中継電極952の構成を示す斜視図、図50は中継電極952と冷陰極管17の接続関係を示す説明図である。
図49に示した中継電極952は、チップ状、詳しくは短冊状の導電性の金属材料からなるベース部953と、ベース部953の表面である載置面953aに形成された導電性の金属材料からなる円弧状のカップ部材(円弧状受容部材)959と、カップ部材959の底面に形成された板バネ(弾性部材)952aとを有して構成されている。カップ部材959は、冷陰極管17の口金136の下端側、つまり口金136の管周のうち半分以下を受容可能な構成とされ、冷陰極管17の軸線方向に交わる方向の断面形状が、半円以下の円弧形状を有して構成されている。
冷陰極管17の位置決め手段として、ランプクリップ280を備えるものとしても良い。図51はランプクリップ280と冷陰極管17の関係を示す説明図、図52はランプクリップ280の構成を示す正面図である。
ランプクリップ280は、図51及び図52に示すように、冷陰極管17をシャーシ14に取付固定するための部材であって、シャーシ14に宛がわれるベース板(取付板)281と、ベース板281から冷陰極管17側に突出して冷陰極管17を保持可能とされる保持部282と、ベース板281からシャーシ14側に突出して、シャーシ14に配された取付孔14Hを介してシャーシ14の裏面側に係止される係止部284と、ベース板281から冷陰極管17側に突出し、冷陰極管17よりも表面側に配された光学部材15を支持するための支持ピン283と、を備えて構成されている。
光源被覆部材たるランプホルダ19の一変形例として、図53に示すような構成のものを採用することができる。図53は、第4変形例に係るランプホルダ190の長手方向に交わる断面構成を示す説明図である。
光源被覆部材たるランプホルダ19の異なる変形例として、図54に示すような構成のものを採用することができる。図54は、第5変形例に係るランプホルダ191の長手方向に交わる断面構成を示す説明図である。
中継電極652の異なる変形例として、図55に示すような構成のものを採用することができる。図55は第6変形例に係る中継電極1052と冷陰極管17の接続関係を示す説明図である。
(1)上記各実施形態において並列駆動される放電管は冷陰極管に限らず、例えば熱陰極管であってもよい。
(2)また、液晶表示装置10の表示パネル11は、スイッチング素子がTFTであるものに限らず、スイッチング素子がMIM(Metal Insulator Metal)等、TFT以外のものであってもよい。また、本発明の表示装置としては、液晶表示装置に限らず、表示パネルの背面側に照明装置を必要する種々の表示装置が含まれる。
