A point-light-source type light emitting portion faces a light incident
face located at a corner portion of a light guide plate. A light
diffusion pattern for emitting the light in the light guide plate from a
light emission face is on the lower surface of the light guide plate. A
diffusion prism sheet is on the light emission face. A prism sheet
including prisms each having a concentric shape with the light emitting
portion at the center is on the lower surface of the diffusion prism
sheet, and an uneven diffusion plate is on the upper surface of the
diffusion prism sheet. Light emitted from the light emission face of the
light guide plate along the light emission face is deflected in the
direction perpendicular to the light guide plate by the prism sheet, and
the angle of beam spread of the light is spread by the uneven diffusion
plate.
