1. A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising:
a liquid crystal panel;
an optical system; and
a light source;
wherein said light source includes a light emitting element structure having positive and negative electrodes, at least one of them being plural, and wires mounted to said positive and negative electrodes by making electrical correspondence to individual regions of said positive and negative electrodes; and
wherein said light emitting element structure has a positive electrode constructed as mergence of singular positive electrodes of individual light emitting unit elements of minimum unit and a negative electrode constructed of mergence of singular negative electrodes of the individual light emitting unit elements of minimum unit, said light emitting unit elements of minimum unit being divisions of said light emitting element structure on the same substrate.
