An objective is to obtain a backlight in which a decrease in brightness at a peripheral portion associated with the change of viewing distance is reduced. The backlight is comprised with an optical member 107 for transforming beams projected from light sources 117A and 117B into beams having a narrow-angle light distribution in which rays having intensity of no less than a predetermined value are localized within a predetermined angle range centered in the normal direction of a display surface 106b of a liquid crystal display panel 106, and for projecting the transformed beams in the direction of the liquid crystal display panel 106; and a light distribution control member 83 for receiving the beams that are projected from the optical member 107 and that have the narrow-angle light distribution, and for projecting the received beams in the direction of the liquid crystal display panel 106, wherein a plurality of concaves 109 are provided at the light distribution control member 83 for transforming a beam, from among the beams having the narrow-angle light distribution, that enters a peripheral portion of the liquid crystal display panel 106 so that the narrow-angle light distribution of the entered beam is broadened compared to that of a beam that enters a central portion of the liquid crystal display panel 106; and curvature radiuses of the plurality of concaves are formed so that a curvature radius of a concave located at a peripheral portion of the light distribution control member 83 is smaller than a curvature radius of a concave located at a central portion of the light distribution control member 83.

A surface light source device includes a surface light-emitting light-guiding unit; an LED light source disposed at an outside position on a side of a direction of the light incident surface; a plurality of laser light sources disposed at an outside position on a side of a direction of a rear surface of the surface light-emitting light-guiding unit; and a laser-light-ray guiding unit arranged on a side of a rear surface of the surface light-emitting light-guiding unit. The laser-light-ray guiding unit guides the laser light rays emitted from the laser light sources so that the laser light rays enter through a light incident end surface, travel in a direction opposite to a direction in which the LED light source emits the LED light ray, and thereafter are reflected by a light bending part to enter through the light incident surface of the surface light-emitting light-guiding unit.

A light intensity distribution conversion element has a light incident surface, a light emission surface, and total reflection surfaces. Light having directivity enters the light incident surface. The light emission surface has a curved surface portion of a concave shape with respect to an emitting direction of the light, for broadening an angular intensity distribution of the light. The total reflection surfaces are near or are adjacent to the curved surface portion, are slanted against the emitting direction of the light, and totally reflect the light. The light reflected by the total reflection surfaces is emitted from the curved surface portion.

An angular intensity distribution shaping member includes a first surface for receiving a light beam emitted from a light source, the first surface having a length in a width direction that is longer than that in a thickness direction; second surfaces forming a plate-shaped light path on which the light beam incident from the first surface propagates by total reflection, the second surfaces including at least one adjustment surface for spreading a full angle of an angular intensity distribution, in the width direction, of the light beam incident from the first surface so that the full angle becomes wider than that of the angular intensity distribution of the light beam just after emission from the light source; and a third surface through which the light beam exits, the full angle of its angular intensity distribution in the width direction having been widened by the at least one adjustment surface.

A screen includes a light diffusion layer in which microcapsules, each having therein a light diffusion liquid that scatters light for displaying a video image, are planarly arranged. The light diffusion layer is fixed to a supporting sheet by a binder material. On a surface of the supporting sheet, a Fresnel lens is formed. A light diffusion plate is made up of the light diffusion layer and the supporting sheet. The screen is made up of the light diffusion plate and a light diffusion plate. Scattering distribution of a scattered wave of light that passes through the light diffusion layer temporally changes.
