ABSTRACT:
A light emission part in the form of a point light source composed of LED, etc., and a light conductive plate, and the light emission part is arranged in opposition to a light incident surface of the light conductive plate. First diffusion patterns and second diffusion patterns are provided alternately on the light incident surface. The first diffusion patterns comprise a V-groove provided on an inner surface of a rectangular-shaped recess provided concavely on the light incident surface. The second diffusion patterns comprise a V-groove provided on the light incident surface. When a virtual line segment in parallel to a line segment drawn from the light emission part to a corner of the surface light emission region of the light conductive plate is drawn from an end of the recess, the V-groove and the second diffusion patterns are provided not to get over the virtual line segment.
