ABSTRACT:
Light from light emitting element enters into a flux control member through a recess on an inner face of the light flux control member, being emitted from an emission control face (outer face). At least so far as light falls within a half-intensity-angular-range, the light satisfies Condition 1 ((θ5/θ1)>1 except for light in the vicinity of a normal direction of the emission control face) and Condition 2 (Value of θ5/θ1>1 gets smaller gradually with increasing of θ1). It is noted that θ1, θ5 are angles made at being inner-incident to the emission control face and at being emitting from the same, respectively. The emission control face has a planar outline shape which is anisotropic around optical axis L, thereby causing value of θ5 /θ1 to have a change depending on direction angle φ around optical axis L, with the result that highly uniform light is supplied to a required anisotropic irradiation range.
