Abstract: A flexible board is formed by mounting a one end of the flexible board on a mounting surface provided on a liquid crystal panel, the mounting surface having a curved shape, and by folding back the flexible board from the one end through another end. The flexible board includes a bent portion in which, at a position between the one end and the other end, a gap to the one end changes according to the position along a curving direction of the mounting surface, the bent portion being formed by bending at least a portion among the positions where the gap to the one end is small so as to make the portion protrude in a direction that crosses a board surface of the flexible board.

Abstract: A backlight device 12 includes LEDs 15, a light guide plate 17, an inner frame-shaped portion 20b, a light guide late holding portion 24, an outer frame-shaped portion 21B, and elastic abutment portions 25. The light guide plate 17 includes an outer peripheral end surface. The outer peripheral end surface includes an end surface opposed to the LEDs 15 and defined as a light entering surface through which light from the LEDs 15 enters. The light guide plate 17 includes a pair of plate surfaces. One of the plate surfaces is defined as a light exiting plate surface 17b through which the light exits. The inner frame-shaped portion 20b is opposed to the outer peripheral end surface to surround the light guide plate 17. The light guide plate holding portion 24 is disposed between at least a part of the outer peripheral end surface of the light guide plate 17 and the inner frame-shaped portion 20b to hold the light guide plate 17.

Abstract: A kimchi-like food produced by combining dried stalks of sanzo-sai, conventional kimchi additives, and improved kimchi additives, and processing the combination according to a new process which includes a two-step aging process. The resulting kimchi-like food is crisp, full-flavored, and sour, and maintains these qualities through long-term storage.
