Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting device in which a problem is hardly caused by a hole formed in a chassis of the lighting device. A backlight unit (a lighting device) 1 according to the present invention includes an LED (a light source) 17 , a flat cable (a flat conductor) 22 connected to the LED 17 , a chassis 14 including a hole 14 e , a cable protector (a flat conductor protector) 23 including a protection portion 24 and an insertion hole 24 a extending through the protection portion 24 . The chassis 14 houses the LED 17 . The flat cable 22 is inserted through the insertion hole 24 a . The flat conductor protector 23 is arranged such that the protection portion 24 is positioned between an edge of the hole 14 e of the chassis 14 and a portion of the flat cable 22 that is positioned in the insertion hole 24 a.
