    Abstract: There are provided a light source device and a display device which do not generate a wrinkle on an optical sheet even if the optical sheet is held on an LED substrate. A reflection sheet is disposed between each of head portions possessed by a rivet, a positioning rivet and a support rivet and one surface of an LED substrate where an LED is mounted, and a gap in a direction of a sheet thickness is provided between the head portion of each of the rivets and the reflection sheet. In the case in which a sudden thermal change is caused, therefore, the reflection sheet expands or contracts between the head portion of each of the rivets and the reflection sheet so that the wrinkle can be prevented from being generated over the reflection sheet.

  • Patent number: 8858054
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an edge-type lighting device using an LED light source which has high light-emitting efficiency regardless of thermal expansion of a light guide plate. An LED light source (3) is disposed on an edge of a light guide plate (2) so as to be movable in the normal line direction (±n) of the edge (2c) of the light guide plate. A slide member (7) is slidably disposed on the rear surface of the LED light source. A spring (8) is disposed in a frame member (4) on the rear surface of the slide member. Thus, the LED light source can always be pressed toward the edge of the light guide plate regardless of the thermal expansion of the light guide plate. Because the spring has a simple structure, the lighting device can be compact compared to the case where a coil spring is used.
