ABSTRACT:
A lighting unit of the present invention comprises a light guide board, a fluorescent discharge tube provided on a side surface of the light guide board, having an electrode portion at its end portion, a lead wire having a contact connected to the electrode portion of the fluorescent discharge tube, and a holder having a cavity therein and containing the end portion of the fluorescent discharge tube and the contact of the lead wire inside the cavity. The diameter of the cavity is larger than that of the fluorescent discharge tube. With this construction, the lighting unit can suppress heat dissipation at the end portion of the fluorescent discharge tube as compared with the background art and as a result, can suppress degradation in luminance of the fluorescent discharge tube due to long term use.
