Abstract: A lamp clip 18 includes a main body 27, a lamp gripping portion 28, a first mounting portion 30 and a second mounting portion 31. The main body 27 is mounted to a chassis 14 that houses a plurality of tubular cold cathode tubes 17. The lamp gripping portion 28 is provided on a surface of the main body 27 opposing the cold cathode tube 17 so as to grip the cold cathode tube 17. The first mounting portion 30 protrudes from the main body 27 so as to extend toward the chassis 14 and to be in a first mounting hole 32 formed in the chassis 14 so that a rim of the first mounting hole 32 is sandwiched between the first mounting portion 30 and the main body 27. The second mounting portion 31 protrudes from the main body 27 so as to extend toward the chassis 14 and to be inserted in a second mounting hole 33 formed in the chassis 14 so that a rim of the second mounting hole 33 is sandwiches between the second mounting portion 31 and the main body 27.

Abstract: A lamp clip 18 includes a main body 27 mounted to a chassis 14 and a lamp gripping portion 28 having an open-end ring shape. The lamp gripping portion 28 is provided on a side of the main body 27 opposite from the chassis 14 so as to grip a tubular cold cathode tube 17 housed in the chassis 14. At least a part of an inner surface of the lamp gripping portion 28 opposing the cold cathode tube 17 is sloped surfaces 44 and the distances from the cold cathode tube 17 gradually decrease from a center side toward respective edge sides along a length direction of the cold cathode tube 17.

At least a part of the lamp gripping portion 28 is tapered such that a size that measures in a length direction of the cold cathode tube 17 gradually decreases toward the cold cathode tube 17.

Abstract: A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a light source 17 having a conductive portion 19 at ends thereof, an optical sheet 15 arranged on a light output side with respect to the light source 17 and a cover 20 having light blocking effect and covering the end of the light source 17. The cover 20 includes a covering portion 20z for covering the light source and an optical sheet supporting portion 20a for supporting the optical sheet 15 on a surface located on the light output side with respect to the covering portion 20z. A projection 71 projects from the optical sheet supporting portion 20a toward the middle of the light source 17.
