Abstract: A liquid crystal display capable of expanding a color reproduction range in the case where a cold cathode fluorescent lamp is used as a light source is provided. A green phosphor of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp includes BaMgAl10O17:Eu, Mn. The wavelength range of a green emission spectrum is located on a shorter wavelength side than that in the case where the green phosphor includes LaPO4:Ce, Tb, so the spectral width of the green emission spectrum is narrower. Therefore, an overlap between the wavelength ranges of green display light and red display light is reduced. Moreover, the spectral characteristics of blue display light (blue spectral characteristics) are set so as to satisfy predetermined conditional expressions. An overlap between the wavelength ranges of the green display light and the blue display light is also reduced.
