An object of the present invention is to provide a surface light source element configured to enhance projection light from an opening boundary of a supporting frame (12), wherein the projection light is required as a surface light source element, so that the surface light source element makes it possible to clearly illuminate an observation direction even in the case where the surface light source element is made large in size or thin in thickness. In the surface light source element using a light-guiding plate (1) provided with a prism pattern of a groove (9) that is V-character-like in section on a side of the bottom surface (7), the light-guiding plate (1) is characterized in comprising the prism pattern that enters from the edge of an opening of a supporting frame (12) to the incident edge surface side, wherein the prism pattern is arranged in a central direction of the light guide plate from a position of an angle ¸ ranging from 20° to 60° expressed by the following equation: L= T × tan ¸ where T: a thickness (mm) of the light guide plate (1), and L: a distance (mm) entering from the edge of the opening at the supporting frame (12) on an inner side of a liquid crystal panel to a back surface of the supporting frame (12). |
