- light from the other LEDs 11 is present in the dark region. Reach it.

- a hollow DH that is recessed may be formed on the light receiving surface RS.
- the inner surface (and consequently the light receiving surface RS) of the recess DH becomes a polygonal surface formed by arranging a plurality of small surfaces SS. And if it is polygonal light-receiving surface RS, the light from LED11 will spread easily (In addition, the process which forms the non-planar hollow DH which changes the advancing direction of the light received by light-receiving surface RS is non-planar.

- the light receiving surface RS may be a curved surface that is recessed toward the destination of light from the LED 11 by increasing the number of the small surfaces SS (in short, the recess DH is important).
- the inner surface may be a curved surface).
- the light traveling from the light receiving surface RS travels so as not to be excessively separated from the side surface 21S adjacent to the light receiving surface RS.
- the minimal surface including the incident point of the light ray (principal ray / peripheral ray) in the light receiving surface RS is perpendicular to the light ray. are less likely to be separated from the side surface 21S adjacent to each other ⁇ .
- one LED 11 having relatively high luminance can be made to correspond to the light receiving surface RS, or a plurality of LEDs 11 which are not high luminance but inexpensive can be made to correspond to one light receiving surface RS. That is, if the number of the LEDs 11 with respect to one light receiving surface RS may be one or more, the options of the LEDs 11 that can be mounted on the backlight unit 49 are increased.
- the principal ray of the LED 11 travels along the normal direction with respect to the small surfaces SS1 to SS3, and is adjacent to the light receiving surface RS (specifically, the small surfaces SS2 and SS3).
- Light having relatively high light intensity reaches the vicinity of the matching side surface 21S.
- the peripheral ray of the LED 11 reaches the vicinity of the side surface 21S more than the principal ray.

And if it is the polygonal light-receiving surface RS, the light from LED11 will spread easily like the polygonal light-receiving surface RS with the hollow DH shape. For example, a part of the light of the LED 11 close to the long side surface 21S3 of the light guide plate 21 proceeds toward the short side surface 21S4 of the light guide plate 21 through the small surface SS3. On the other hand, a part of the light of the LED 11 near the short side surface 21S4 of the light guide plate 21 proceeds toward the long side surface 21S3 of the light guide plate 21 through the small surface SS2.

- the LED 12 may be disposed with the light emitting surface 12L facing the side surface 21S on the short side of the light guide plate 21 adjacent to the light receiving surface RS. If it is in this way, the light of LED12 spreads in a comparatively wide range from the side 21S of the short side used as an incident side to the side 21S of the other short side. That is, light reaches a wide area in the light guide plate 21. Therefore, the utilization efficiency of the light from LED12 is high.
