Abstract:
A planar light source device has: a housing, a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting devices each having a light-emitting element and a light-beam control member; and a light diffusing member. The housing has: a bottom surface and two inclined surfaces. In the light distribution characteristics of a light-emitting device, a light ray with the largest angle relative to the optical axis in an angular range within which a luminous intensity equal to or more than 70% of the maximum luminous intensity is exhibited reaches the inclined surfaces. A first angle between the optical axis of the light-emitting element and a light ray having the maximum luminous intensity emitted from the light-emitting device is larger than a second angle between the optical axis of the light-emitting element and a straight line connecting the luminescence center of the light-emitting element to the opening-side end portion of the housing.

A light flux control member has: a rear surface extending in the Y-axis direction; and a first incident plane, a second incident plane, and a third incident plane disposed on the rear surface side, said third incident plane reflecting light incident to the first incident plane. The light flux control member further has: a first reflecting plane disposed on the front side and reflecting, to one direction in the Y-axis direction, light incident to the first incident plane, light incident to the first incident plane and reflected on the third incident plane, and light incident to the third incident plane; and a second reflecting plane for reflecting light incident to the second incident plane to the other direction in the Y-axis direction.

Abstract:
A light redirecting member includes an incidence surface; a first total reflection surface, two light guiding parts; two second total reflection surfaces disposed at respctivee end portions of the two light guiding parts such that a distance between the second total reflection surface and a virtual plane increases as the second total reflection surface extends from the end portions; and two emission surfaces. The virtual plane includes the optical axis and a first virtual line which intersects the optical axis and extends in an extending direction of the two light guiding parts, the two second total reflection surfaces being surfaces on which light which is incident on the incidence surface and directly reaches the two second total reflection surfaces is incident at an angle equal to or greater than a critical angle, the two second total reflection surfaces being configured to reflect the light.
Abstract:
This light flux control member comprises: two entry surfaces disposed on two sides of a virtual plane serving as a boundary and containing the optical axis of the light-emitting element; a first protruding strip disposed between the two entry surfaces and along the virtual plane, into which light that has exited the light-emitting element enters; two total reflection surfaces, each formed at a position facing the light-emitting element with one of the entry surfaces sandwiched therebetween; two light-guide portions disposed at opposite positions with the first protruding strip sandwiched therebetween; and an exit surface formed on the external surface of each of the light-guide portions. A second light flux control member is disposed so as to cover the first protruding strip and includes a diffuse transmission portion whereby light that has entered and exited the first protruding strip is transmitted while being diffused.
