ABSTRACT:
An illuminator with a light-emitting surface includes a light-conducting plate made of a transparent or translucent resin and a light source device for projecting light into this light-conducting plate through its side surface. There is an engagement mechanism by which the light source device can be automatically attached to the side surface of the light-conducting plate by merely pressing the light source device against the side surface of the light-conducting plate. The engaging mechanism may include protrusions formed at both end parts of the light source device and a flexible and deformable hook formed on the side surface of the light-conducting plate so as to prevent the light source device from becoming removed from or moving perpendicularly relative to the light-conducting plate when they are in engaged relationship.
