Abstract: A backlight includes light emitting diodes; a substrate on which light emitting diodes are mounted; and a reflection sheet. The surface on which the light emitting diodes are mounted of the substrate is opposed to a rear surface of the liquid crystal display panel. The liquid crystal display panel and the substrate each have a shape in which a common width in a first direction is longer than a width in a second direction, which is orthogonal to the first direction. The width of the substrate in the second direction is shorter than the width of the liquid crystal display panel in the second direction. The substrate is opposed to, while avoiding being opposed to both end portions of the liquid crystal display panel in the second direction, a central portion between the both end portions of the liquid crystal display panel.

Abstract: A display device includes a display portion having gate and source signal lines, and a plurality of pixels, a gate driver that outputs gate signals, a source driver that outputs source signals, and a controller that causes the display portion to display an image at a frame frequency. The controller sets the frame frequency to a first frame frequency F1 when the image is a moving picture, and the controller sets the frame frequency to a second frame frequency F2 lower than F1 when the image is a still picture. The gate driver outputs the gate signals to the gate signal lines in an aligned order of gate signal lines in a second direction when the frame frequency is F1, and the gate driver outputs the gate signals to the gate signal lines in different order from the array order when the frame frequency is F2.

Abstract: A backlight unit has a light source area. The width of the light source area in a first direction is shorter than the width of a liquid crystal panel in the first direction. A plurality of LED modules (31) are arranged along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. End lenses (41A, 41B) and a middle lens (42) for enlarging a light divergence angle are disposed on the plurality of LED modules (31).

This structure can reduce difference in brightness of the liquid crystal panel, while reducing the number of light sources.
