A liquid crystal display assembly includes a liquid crystal display, and a
surface light source device that illuminates the liquid crystal display
from a back surface. The surface light source device includes a housing
including a bottom plate, a light source that is arranged on the bottom
plate and illuminates the liquid crystal display, and a plurality of
radiator fins arranged at a spacing from each other. Each of the radiator
fins includes a first fin portion formed by bending a part of the bottom
plate in a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the first fin
portion extending substantially perpendicularly to the bottom plate, and
a second fin portion formed by bending a part of the first fin portion in
a direction away from the liquid crystal display, the second fin portion
extending substantially parallel to the bottom plate.
