  • Lighting device for display device and display device
    Patent number: 7325937
    Abstract: In a lighting device for a display device, a clearance is set between an edge portion of a locking piece in a lamp clip, and a hole edge of a locking piece insertion hole provided at a back plate part of the case to correspond to the locking piece, and thereby, relative displacement of the locking piece in the locking piece insertion hole is allowed. According to such a construction, expansion and contraction deformation of the lamp clip accompanying temperature change and a variation in molding accuracy can be absorbed, and therefore, poor assembly of the lamp clip to the case can be avoided.
