The side face of the light guide plate 11 has an arc recess 11a where light enters, and the light source 2 is housed in the recess 11a. The light guide plate 11 is a trapezoid form having the width increasing as the distance from the side face having the recess 11a where light enters increases, and the plate has a light exiting face 14 on the side face opposing to the recess 11a where light enters. A light diffusing part 13 is selectively disposed on the light exiting face 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
