FIG. 2 (a) shows an embodiment for realizing the illumination device as described above. The light source 12 is arranged on at least one end surface side of the light guide body 11. The light guide 11 is shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), a protrusion 13 on a rib is provided on one surface of the transparent plate substantially parallel to the light source 2, and each surface of the protrusion 13 is substantially perpendicular to a surface substantially parallel to the light output side plane 14. It is composed only of different faces. That is, on the surface of the light guide 11 on the light output side,
The light output side plane 14, a surface parallel to the light output side plane 14,
Further, the uneven surface is formed by the light exit side flat surface 14 and the surface in the vertical direction. The light guide 11 is made of a transparent material having a refractive index of 1.4 or more. The ray from the light source 12 is the ray 16
After entering from the end face 15 as shown by a and a ray 16b, total reflection is repeatedly emitted in the light guide 11 only from the side surface of the protrusion 13, so that the light emitted from the back surface of the lighting device 1 is increased and the liquid crystal display body Can be illuminated.

As the transparent material forming the light guide 11, a transparent resin such as an acrylic resin or a polycarbonate resin, an inorganic transparent material such as glass, or a composite thereof is used.
It is formed by a method such as injection molding, photo-curing resin, etching, bonding a film on a transparent resin or glass flat plate.

As shown in FIG. 3A, since the light ray incident from the end face 15 has an optical axis of 45 degrees or less due to refraction with respect to the axis of the light guide 11 in the long side direction, it is irradiated to the side surface of the protrusion 13. In order to be performed, a height higher than the width of the protrusion 13 is required. In the case of less than that, the light ray is emitted to the upper surface of the illumination device 1 through the path as shown in FIG. However, if the number of pairs is greatly exceeded, not only is it optically meaningless, but there is also the problem that manufacturing becomes difficult. From the above, it is desirable that the protrusion 13 has a width-height ratio of just about -to-.

The width and height of the protrusions 13 are required to be about 5 μm or more in order that the wavelength of visible light is about 380 nm to 700 nm, so that a spectral stripe pattern does not occur due to interference due to diffraction. Moreover, since the size of the pixel of the liquid crystal display is 200 μm to 300 μm, it should be 100 μm or less in order to prevent the occurrence of a stripe pattern due to interference with this pixel. In addition to the above contents, the size of the protrusion 13 is approximately 10 due to manufacturing convenience.
It is desirable that the thickness is in the range of μm to 50 μm. By adjusting the density of the protrusions 13 on the light guide 11, the uniformity of the irradiation brightness can be improved. Actually, the protrusions 13 are arranged sparsely in the vicinity of the light source 12, and are continuously arranged densely as they are separated. In this case, a method in which the size of the protrusions 13 is fixed and the density is varied, a method in which the density is fixed and the size is varied, a method in which both are varied, and the like are used.

Another embodiment is shown in FIG. Protrusion 13
Even when formed into a prismatic shape, the same effect as the rib can be obtained. Since the side surface of the protrusion 13 which is perpendicular to the light source 12 is irradiated with a light ray at a critical angle or more, it is totally reflected and has nothing to do with the emitted light. As shown in FIG. 4B, when a prism having a square bottom surface is formed on the light guide 11 having a substantially rectangular shape, the light sources 12 are arranged on two adjacent sides and the light rays incident from the two sides are projected 13. The light can be emitted from each side of the.

As another embodiment, FIG. 5A shows a case where the projection 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape. Light rays irradiated on the cylindrical surface of the protrusion 13 at a critical angle or less are emitted, and light rays irradiated at a critical angle or more repeat reflection on the cylindrical surface, then are inverted on the bottom surface of the projection 13 and are reflected on the cylindrical surface. Repeatingly, the path of traveling inside the light guide body is traced again. The light beam emitted from the cylindrical surface is shown in FIG. 5 as compared with the case of the prism shown in FIG.
The irradiation range can be widened as shown in (b).
