ABSTRACT:
A light guide (4) for guiding light emitted from a primary light source (2), having a light incident face (41) which light emitted from the primary light source (2) enters and a light emitting face (43) from which the guided light is emitted. The light emitting face (43) is uneven surface having a large number of micro convex curved surface areas. The average slant angle θa is 0.3° to 30°. The ten-point average roughness Rz is 0.7 μm to 10 μm. A light deflector (6) composed of a prism sheet is disposed beside the light emitting face (43).
