A light-emitting device (10) includes: a light-emitting element (1); and a light flux controlling member (2) for controlling light emitted from the light-emitting element (1), the light flux controlling member (2) has (i) a light-incoming surface (2a) which the light emitted from the light-emitting element (1) enters and (ii) a light-outgoing surface (2b), and the following equation (1) is satisfied where r is a length, from a light axis Z of the light-emitting device (10), of a plane that is provided at a certain distance from the light flux controlling member (2) in a direction parallel to the light axis Z so as to be perpendicular to the light axis Z, &phgr;1 is an angle between the light emitted from the light-emitting element (1) and the light axis, P(&phgr;1) is a light distribution property of the light-emitting element (1). This provides a light-emitting device that scatters light without generating uneven brightness on a liquid crystal display panel, reduces a reflectance caused by the Fresnel's reflection, and has an improved scattering ability. |
