To provide a lighting apparatus, a backlight unit and a liquid crystal television set to which the cold cathode fluorescent lamp can be attached and detached in a one-touch operation by reducing unevenness in luminance in a long direction of a lamp (both sides to the right and left inside an outside surrounding housing) in addition to reducing the number of inverters in an approximate U-shaped cold cathode fluorescent lamp and preventing damage in such as a sealing part of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp.
The lighting apparatus 50 is provided with; U-shaped lamp holders 15 and 16 retaining connection of outlines of power supplying terminals 104 and 105 installed on an outer periphery surface on both ends of the straight tube shaped cold cathode fluorescent lamp 100 and a lighting control circuit 60 connected to the lamp holders 15 and 16 and lighting the lamp 100. Each of a plurality of the cold cathode fluorescent lamps is arranged and retained approximately in parallel maintaining a specified spacing in between by the lamp holders 15 and 16. In addition, lamp holders 15 retaining one end in the power supply terminal 104 of two adjacent lamps 100 are connected together.
