Further, the lens portion 11 is processed to have a constant thickness, and has a plurality of fine scattering grooves 13 for scattering light on the surface. The three-dimensional projection 12a has a rectangular shape of a quadrangular pyramid shape in which the upper corner is cut straight, and protrudes from the upper surface of the light guide plate 10. Next, the operation of the backlight unit including the light guide plate 1 of the above configuration will be explained. Fig. 5 is a view showing an exploded state of a backlight unit having a light guide plate according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, when describing the respective surfaces of the light guide plate 1B, the side surface portion that is in contact with the light source 2 will be referred to as the incident surface 14, the upper surface will be referred to as the light exit surface 15, and the lower surface will be referred to as the bottom surface.

In I277806, the lower surface of the light guide plate 1 朝 in the downward direction is provided with the reflection sheet 3 line reflected upward. The light emitted by the human face 14 on the side of the light guide plate U) is scattered by the lens portion U of the plate 10. As described above, since the surface of the lens portion U 2 is provided with the fine scattering grooves 13, the light can be efficiently emitted. A part of the light scattered by the lens 胄U is partially reflected by the upper side _ = 15 downwards--partially emitted through the light-emitting surface 15 toward the upper liquid crystal display device 19. The light reflected downward is continuously reflected between the light-emitting surface Η and the lens portion 11. The light emitted toward the light-emitting surface 15 of the light guide plate 10 is refracted by the three-dimensional projections (3) in the vertical direction and concentrated. In other words, in the related art, the light emitted from the light-emitting surface can be scattered and condensed by attaching the diffusion sheet and the two cymbals to each other on the side of the light guide plate.
