Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a liquid crystal display panel;
• and
• a backlight arranged on a back surface of the liquid crystal display panel, wherein
• the backlight includes
• a base,
• a plurality of rod-shaped light sources arranged between the liquid crystal display panel and the base,
• electrode fittings for supporting electrode portions of the respective rod-shaped light sources,
• connection, portions allowing the plurality of electrode fittings to be connected thereto and extending in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped light sources,
• pushing members for pushing the connection portions toward a base side, and
• friction sound reducing members arranged between the connection portions and the pushing members and/or between the connection portions and the base side
• wherein the pushing members are formed on side wall plates which cover the electrode portions from above,
• wherein the side wall plates are arranged with inclination spreading at an obtuse angle with respect to a surface of the base, and a light reflecting function is imparted to liquid-crystal-display-panel-side surfaces of the side wall plates.
