Abstract

La présente invention aborde le problème de la fourniture d'un élément de commande de flux lumineux avec lequel il est possible de distribuer de manière plus appropriée de la lumière à partir d'une pluralité d'éléments électroluminescents tout en améliorant la maniabilité au moment du montage en disposant l'élément de commande de flux lumineux sur la pluralité d'éléments électroluminescents. Cet élément de commande de flux lumineux comprend : une pluralité d'unités d'incidence sur lesquelles une lumière émise par une pluralité d'éléments électroluminescents est incidente, et une unité d'émission qui est disposée entre la pluralité d'unités d'incidence, et qui guide et émet à partir de celle-ci la lumière incidente sur la pluralité d'unités d'incidence. La pluralité d'unités d'incidence ont chacune une surface d'incidence, et une première surface de réflexion qui réfléchit la lumière incidente sur la surface d'incidence dans une direction le long d'un substrat. L'unité d'émission a une seconde surface d'émission qui est disposée de façon à faire face au substrat et réfléchit la lumière provenant de l'unité d'incidence, une première surface d'émission qui est disposée de façon à faire face à la seconde surface d'émission et à partir de laquelle la lumière provenant de l'unité d'incidence est émise, et une partie de promotion d'émission pour favoriser l'émission de lumière se déplaçant entre la seconde surface d'émission et la surface d'émission à partir de la première surface d'émission.
