A front light unit(100) comprises as follows. A light source(110) is equipped. A light guide plate(120) guides light emitted from the light source, and has a rear side(122) from which the guided light is emitted and a front side(121) confronting with the rear side. Plural prism shape structures(123) are integratedly disposed on the rear side of the light guide plate, and emit totally reflected light from the front side of the light guide plate. The light guide plate and the prism shape structures are made of transparent and elastic materials.
