Provided is a lighting device capable of surface emission using an LED as a light source, having a simple structure, and reducible in thickness. In a lighting device 50 having an LED 71 as a light source and a light guiding member 60 having a cut 64, 65 formed to provide a certain directivity to emitted light from the LEDs 71, the cut 64, 65 is formed at a position corresponding to the LED 71, at an emission surface side of the light guiding member 60. A mask member 53 configured to block the emitted light from the LED 71 is disposed on an emission surface side of the cut 64, 65. The lighting device 50 includes a case 80 having an opening at an emission surface side thereof to surround the light guiding member 60, and a lens 51 configured to cover the opening of the case 80. The light guiding member 60 is sandwiched between the case 80 and the lens 51. The mask member 53 is attached to a mask member-accommodating recess 52 formed at an emission surface side of the lens 51. The mask member-accommodating recess 52 is painted in a certain color. |
