Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel which includes a first substrate, a second substrate and liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a backlight;
• and
• a flexible printed circuit board which is connected to one side of the first substrate, wherein
• the backlight includes a mold, a light guide plate which is arranged in the inside of the mold, a plurality of light emitting diodes which are arranged on a side surface of the light guide plate in the inside of the mold, a reflection sheet which is arranged on a surface of the light guide plate on a side opposite to the liquid crystal panel, and a lower frame which houses the mold,
• the flexible printed circuit board includes a body portion which is connected to one side of the first substrate, a large-width LED board on which the plurality of light emitting diodes are mounted, and a connection board which connects the LED board and the body portion,
• the connection board is bent, and the plurality of light emitting diodes which are mounted on the LED board are housed in the inside of the mold from a side of the mold opposite to the liquid crystal panel,
• the LED board and the reflection sheet are arranged such that a distal end portion of the LED board and the reflection sheet face each other while preventing the distal end portion of the LED board and a portion of the reflection sheet from overlapping with each other,
• assuming a direction orthogonal to the liquid crystal panel as a first direction, a thickness of the plurality of light emitting diodes in the first direction is set larger than a thickness of a light incident surface of the light guide plate in the first direction,
• a region where the plurality of light emitting diodes are arranged protrudes more than a region where the light guide plate is arranged in a direction away from the liquid crystal panel, and
• the lower frame includes an opening portion in the region where the respective light emitting diodes are arranged.
