<p>A backlight unit (3) including an LED package (light source) (11) and an optical waveguide (14), wherein a light emission section (12) is provided in opposition to an incidence surface (14a) on the optical waveguide (14) at the optical waveguide side of the LED package (11) for emitting light from the LED package (11) toward the optical waveguide (14). On the light emission section (12), a dimension in the thickness direction of the optical waveguide (14) at the incidence surface side is configured to be equal to or less than a dimension in the thickness direction of the incidence surface (14a) on the optical waveguide (14), and a two-dimensional photonic crystal (12a) is used.</p> |
