发明名称 LIGHT GUIDE AND ILLUMINATION DEVICE
摘要 A light guide includes an incident surface, an exit surface and a reflective surface. The reflective surface is located opposite to the exit surface to extend in the main scanning direction and includes a plurality of light reflecting patterns formed to reflect the incident light toward the exit surface. The light reflecting patterns have an oval hemispherical shape rising toward the exit surface and a first diameter of the oval hemispherical shape along a sub-scanning direction is equal to or longer than a second diameter thereof along the main scanning direction. The light reflecting patterns are formed to vary the ratio of the first diameter to the height of the oval hemispherical shape depending upon the location on the reflective surface in the main scanning direction.

主权项 1. A light guide formed of a light transmissive member extending in a direction of an optical axis of light incident on an interior of the light guide and configured to reflect the incident light in a specific direction, the light guide comprising: an incident surface provided at least one of both longitudinal ends of the light guide and allowing light emitted from a light source to be incident thereon; an exit surface forming one side surface of the light guide extending in the direction of the optical axis of the light incident through the incident surface, the exit surface allowing the incident light to exit the light guide therethrough; and a reflective surface located opposite to the exit surface to extend in the direction of the optical axis and including a plurality of light reflecting patterns formed to reflect the incident light toward the exit surface, wherein the light reflecting patterns have an oval hemispherical shape rising toward the exit surface and are formed to vary, depending upon location on the reflective surface in the direction of the optical axis, a ratio of a first diameter of the oval hemispherical shape to a height thereof when viewed laterally in the direction of the optical axis, the first diameter being perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis.
