ABSTRACT:
To achieve both uniform illumination and a reduction in the LED light sources, after simplifying illumination control of the light sources. In an illumination unit 130, when arranging LED light sources in a linear arrangement on a light source base plate160,installation thereof will be thinned out in the center, while providing the base plate left and right ends with LED light sources160L1and L2and LED light sources160R1and R2.The light emitted by the LED light source160L1and the LED light source160R1will be reflected by a left inside wall face131LS and a right inside wall face131RS respectively, and directed onto the table upper face. The light emitted by the LED light source160L2and the LED light source160R2lying towards the center zone of the light source array where the light source placement has been thinned out will be reflected by a left outside wall face171LS and a right outside wall face171RS respectively, and directed onto the table upper face.
