Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a backlight unit in which a diffusing member and an adjusting member are disposed on exit surfaces of light guide plates near a liquid crystal panel. The diffusing member diffuses light from the exit surfaces and the adjusting member adjusts the distribution of light from the exit surfaces. The light guide plate is as large as one of four equal parts of the liquid crystal panel as divided in vertical and horizontal directions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a video display device provided with a storage mechanism that reliably holds a recording medium (HDD) with the reduced number of components. A tray integrally stores an installed HDD built in the device and a cassette HDD attachable to and detachable from the device, and is mounted on a main chassis. An HDD stopper of a hook-like shape integrated with the tray presses an end part of the installed HDD to secure its storage position. An HDD holder integrated with the tray presses a side surface at an end part of the cassette HDD to prevent it from falling off the tray. Further, a regulating plate formed by cutting and raising the main chassis suppresses deformation of the HDD stopper, and an anti-falling plate prevents the installed HDD from falling off the tray.
