Diffusion printing 105 is applied to one surface 104 of the light guide plate 101, and one surface 1 of the light guide plate 101 is further provided.
A reflection sheet 106 is attached to prevent light from passing through from the 07 side. When the light emitted from the fluorescent tube 102 to the light guide plate 101 hits the diffusion print 105, the light is diffused,
Light is diffusely reflected, and as shown by an arrow A in FIG.
Light rises on one surface 107 side (a liquid crystal screen side (not shown)). The diffusion printing 105 is gradation from one end 104 of the light guide plate 101 toward the other end toward the fluorescent tube 102 so as to gradually become dense and dense. Thereby, the one surface 107 of the light guide plate 101
The light emitted from is strong on the side close to the fluorescent tube 102,
On the far side, weakening is prevented, and uniform light is applied to the liquid crystal screen (not shown) from the entire one surface 107 of the light guide plate 101.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the light guide plate extends from the end on the light source side in the width direction toward the other end.
Since the first acrylic material is gradually thicker and the second acrylic material is thinner, it is irradiated by the light source,
The light passing through the inside of the light guide plate is second from the surface on the first acrylic material side.
The light passing through a position closer to the acrylic material side surface will be diffused by the diffusing material at a position farther from the light source. Therefore, it is possible to irradiate light of uniform brightness from the entire second acrylic material side surface. I can.

Further, as in the first aspect of the invention, since the light that cannot be emitted from the light guide plate is not generated, the light from the light source can be effectively utilized without omission, and the density of the diffusing material can be increased. Since it is not necessary to manufacture by changing each part, it is easy to manufacture.
