Abstract
A lighting device 12 of the present invention includes a plurality of light sources 17 and a chassis 14 that accommodates the light sources 17. The chassis 14 is formed of a plate member and includes a bottom plate 14a of a flat plate and outer rims 21 having a folding configuration formed at the edges of the bottom plate 14a. The outer rim 21 includes a first folded portion 31 and a second folded portion 32 that is formed by further folding a part of the first folded portion 31. Since the outer rim 21 has a double folding configuration, strength of the outer rim 21 itself is increased to suppress distortion of the chassis 14. Accordingly, uniform brightness is provided.
