Problems solved by technology

However, due to the structure of the sheet-shaped light guide 911, it is difficult to cover the inner wall surface of the slit S with the light-shielding material 918 due to progress in miniaturization and space saving, and light leakage cannot be reduced only through the slit S. , it is possible to cause light unevenness in each display area (illumination area), and cause display unevenness in each display area

Abstract

Provided are a light guide capable of realizing illumination with reduced unevenness of light in each illumination region, and an illumination device using the light guide. The light guide (100) is composed of a light-transmitting base member (1), and has a first light-emitting area (1c) corresponding to the first light-incidence portion (1a) and a second light-emitting area (1c) corresponding to the second light-incidence portion (1b). In the light-emitting area (1d), the boundary area (1e) between the first light-emitting area and the second light-emitting area is formed with a first slit area (1f), one of the first light-incident portion or the second light-incidence portion Formed on the side opposite to the first slit area across the first illuminated area or the second illuminated area, in the light guide, the first slit area has a first slit (1h), and the first slit is opposite to the first slit area The direction in which the traveling direction of the light from the light source (LS) intersects extends, and the intersection angle with the light from the light source changes continuously, and the width of the first slit becomes wider as it goes downward or upward.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a light guide and an illuminating device using the light guide, in particular to a light guide with multiple illuminating areas and an illuminating device using the light guide. Background technique [0002] An operation unit or the like of an electronic device is often equipped with a lighting function. In addition, as the lighting function, the light source is often arranged at a position far from the irradiated part, and a light guide is used to guide the light to the irradiated part. Recently, there are many operation units having a plurality of display areas, and light guides for illuminating each display area and lighting devices using the light guides are required. As such a light guide, a sheet-shaped light guide (light guide) described in Patent Document 1 described below is known. [0003] Below, use Figure 16 , the sheet-shaped light guide described in Patent Document 1 will be described. Figure 16 It is ...
