Abstract

According to one embodiment, a light guide plate includes a light guide plate main body disposed with one end side thereof opposed to a light source and convex portions provided on the both lateral portions in positions separate from the both end portions toward the center of the light guide plate main body. A frame includes fitted portions recessed in positions corresponding to the respective convex portions, into which the convex portions are to be fitted. A bonding member bonds the fitted portions and the convex portions fitted into the respective fitted portions and serves as a light-blocking member covering the interior of the fitted portions and the exterior of the convex portions.

Claims (17)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a liquid crystal display element;

a backlight including a light source, a light guide body for converting light from the light source into planar light, and an optical sheet provided in a manner laminated on the light guide body closer to the liquid crystal display element, the backlight arranged to irradiate planar light onto the dorsal side of the liquid crystal display element;

a frame surrounding and holding the liquid crystal display element and the backlight; and

a bonding member for bonding the frame and a portion of the backlight, wherein the light guide body includes:

a light guide body base disposed with one end side thereof opposed to the light source; and

protrusions provided on the both lateral portions in positions separate from the both end portions toward the center of the light guide body base, and wherein

the frame includes fitted portions recessed in positions corresponding to the respective protrusions, into which the protrusions are to be fitted, and wherein

the bonding member bonds the fitted portions and the protrusions fitted into the respective fitted portions and serves as a light-blocking member covering the interior of the fitted portions and the exterior of the protrusions, and wherein

the light guide body base is formed in a quadrilateral shape having a pair of long sides in the both lateral portions and a pair of short sides in the both end portions, and wherein

the protrusions are provided separately in pairs on each of the long sides in positions separate from the short sides, and wherein

the light-blocking member absorbs light leaking from the protrusions towards the fitted portions.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a double-sided adhesive tape bonding the backlight and the liquid crystal display element, wherein

the optical sheet includes a stuck portion provided on the side closer to the light source and stuck with the double-sided adhesive tape.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is an LED.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking member is a black light-blocking double-sided adhesive tape.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the optical sheet includes one diffusion sheet and two prism sheets.
