LIGHT EMITTING ELEMENT AND LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A light emitting element (1) is provided with a plurality of light emitting diodes [3(R1, G11 and so on)], including one or more different colors; and a light guide body (4) for surface-emitting light emitted from each of the light emitting diodes [3(R1, G11 and so on)]. The light emitting diodes are arranged in a fixed order along the light guide body (4). The light guide body (4) is provided with a color mixing section (5) for mixing colors of light from each of the light emitting diodes [3(R1, G11 and so on)]; and a display section (6) for surface-emitting the light wherein colors are mixed by the color mixing section (5). Luminosities of the light emitting diodes [3(R1, G11 and so on)] are reduced toward the end from the center of the light guide body (4). Thus, coloring due to the color of the light emitting diode arranged on the side end surface side is not generated, and white light source wherein colors are sufficiently mixed is obtained.
