Abstract: Provided is a method capable of performing serial transmission of data whose data values change in short fixed cycles, while suppressing an increase in power consumption. In a liquid crystal controller, data sequence conversion is performed on data included in an input image signal by a first data sequence conversion circuit and a second data sequence conversion circuit every predetermined period of time. The data sequence conversion is performed by reversing the values of predetermined bits of each data. The data obtained after the data sequence conversion is transmitted, as a digital video signal, to a source driver. In the source driver, the same data sequence conversion as that performed by the liquid crystal controller is performed on each data included in the digital video signal by a first data sequence restoring circuit and a second data sequence restoring circuit.

Abstract: A backlight device 12 includes LEDs 17, a light guide plate 16, an optical member 15, and heat dissipation members 30. The light guide member 16 includes light entrance surfaces 16b and a light exit surface 16a. The optical member 15 is arranged on the light exit surface 16a of the light guide plate 16. The heat dissipation members 30 are configured to dissipate heat from the LEDs 17. Each heat dissipation member 30 includes a light source mounting portion 31 to which the LEDs 17 are mounted, an extending portion 32, and protrusions 33. The extending portion 32 continues from the light source mounting portion 31 and extends from the light source mounting portion 31 along an opposite surface 16c of the light guide plate 16 from the light exit surface 16a. The protrusions 33 protrude from a surface 32a of the extending portion 32 on the light guide plate 16 side.

Abstract: This liquid crystal display device is provided with a support member having: a first support section that has a first support surface at which the edge of an optical member is supported; a second support section provided to the liquid crystal panel side of the first support section and having a second support surface at which the edge of the liquid crystal panel is supported; and a recessed section that is provided between the first support section and the second support section, is configured from the first support surface and the reverse surface at the reverse side from the second support surface, and is such that the edge of the optical member can enter the interior thereof. By means of the reverse surface being an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the second support surface, the thickness of the second support section is caused to become greater with distance from the edge of the liquid crystal panel.
