Abstract:
The rear frame includes a frame-like body and a protrusion. The protrusion projects from an inner surface of the frame-like body. A light source unit is disposed on the inner surface, and includes a point light source. The light incident surface on a side surface of the light guide plate faces a light-emitting surface with a gap. An abutting side surface of the light guide plate projects toward the inner surface. The protrusion is fitted to a recess on the abutting side surface. The joining medium joins the abutting side surface with the light source unit. Alternatively, a projecting portion of the light guide plate projects in a direction different from a direction in which the abutting side surface projects. The intermediate frame sandwiches the light guide plate together with the rear frame and includes a sandwiching portion. The sandwiching portion sandwiches the projecting portion.
