Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3719362
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface light source unit capable of approximately unifying the amount of light radiated from a light guide plate in a radiating surface, a compact and light-weighted display device capable of being manufactured with a high accuracy in positioning with less man-hours, and electronic equipment using the same.
SOLUTION: In this surface light source unit 40, a fluorescent tube 50 is mounted along one end surface 45 of a light guide plate 44, the circumference of the fluorescent tube 50 excluding the side of the light guide plate 44, is mostly covered with a reflector 66, and the fluorescent tube 50 is longer than the length of the one end surface 45 of the light guide plate 44, and the reflector is provided with a shielding part 67 for covering a part projecting from the light guide plate, of the fluorescent tube, and a fixing part 68 for fixing the fluorescent tube 50 to prevent its longitudinal movement. The light guide plate 44 is located at a predetermined position of a plane approximately in parallel with a bottom part 57 in this surface light source unit.
