That is, the larger the thickness W of the diffusion layer S, the farther the emission light travels along the emission angle from the upper surface point of the
As described above, the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is an important factor determining the degree of diffusion of the emitted light. When the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is narrow, a sufficient distance for the emission light to proceed can not be ensured and the uniformity of illumination is reduced. On the contrary, when the thickness W of the diffusion layer S is large, there is a problem that the uniformity of illumination is high but the size of the illumination device is large and the brightness is low.
The present invention has resulted in the following optimum ranges for ensuring high uniformity of illumination while reducing the size of the lighting apparatus through repeated experiments.
The predetermined thickness (W) of the diffusion layer (S) according to the present invention is in the range of 3.5 mm? W? 5.5 mm. A hot spot is clearly generated when the difference in brightness between the area adjacent to the
At this time, the thickness Td of the diffusion member D is in the range of 1 mm? Td? 1.5 mm. Here, the thickness of the diffusion member (D) refers to the thickness of the light transmitting portion (120). When the diffusion member D is thin, it is difficult to secure the strength. When the diffusion member D is thick, there is a problem that the emitted light is absorbed and blocked. By forming the diffusion member (D) within the above-mentioned thickness range, it is possible to prevent the brightness of emission light from being lowered simultaneously with securing the strength.
The thickness ratio of the diffusion member D to the diffusion layer S may be in the range of 1: 3.5 to 1: 5.5. Here, the thickness of the diffusion member (D) refers to the thickness of the light transmitting portion (120).

That is, when the brightness of the brightest region is 100%, the brightness of the darkest region is 97.5%.
As described above, the present invention can improve the uniformity of illumination, and can omit a separate optical film structure, thereby saving manufacturing cost. Further, since the step of attaching the optical film is not required, the manufacturing process of the lighting apparatus is simplified. In addition, the illuminating device can be made slimmer by minimizing the thickness increase of the illuminating device.
