摘要

An illuminator comprises a) a light-transmitting member (102-1) formed of a plurality of transparent sheet-like members (108) laminated each other, b) a light source (101-1) disposed on the light-incoming side of the light-transmitting member (102-1), c) a light-reflecting member (103-3) disposed on the light-outgoing side of the light-transmitting member (102-1) at an oblique angle to the transparent sheet-like members (108), and d) a sheet-like member (104-1) having a scattering area at which a light ray reflected on the light-reflecting member (103-3) is converted into scattered light and coming into surface contact with the light-transmitting member (102-1).
