Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve uniformity of brightness, by employing a structure wherein a light guide plate and a reflection plate are laminated together with an adhesive which contains a light scattering substance. SOLUTION: Light from a linear light source 4 comes into a light guide plate 1 together with light reflected in a housing 5. Part of the light coming into the light guide plate 1 goes out from the light guide plate 1, being diffused by a diffusion layer 3, and irradiated from a front surface of a backlight device. Light not going out from the light guide plate 1 progresses further in the light guide plate 1 while repeats reflection toward the linear light source 4 and then in the opposite direction thereto. In this event, because an area occupied by an adhesive layer 6 in the light guide plate 1 becomes larger as it parts farther from the linear light source 4, changes of scatter by a light scattering material contained in the adhesive layer 6 is increased in a part away from the light source 4, and therefore brightness uniformity on a front surface is made satisfactory.
