A liquid crystal display device includes a light source, a light source circuit board on which the light source is mounted, and which electrically controls the light source, a light guide plate optical system including a light guide plate having an incidence plane from which a light emitted from the light source is input, and outputting the light as a planar light, and a frame that holds the light guide plate optical system and the light source circuit board, and has a hole at a position of a light source arrangement plane which faces the incidence plane in which the light source is arranged. The light source circuit board is located at the frame so that the light source is arranged inside the hole from a rear surface side of the light source arrangement plane.
