At least one optical film can be disposed between the light guide plate 10 and the transmissive image display unit 3. Examples of the optical film include a diffusion film, a prism film, and a brightness enhancement film. The optical film has flexibility.
- the light source unit 2 includes a plurality of point light sources 2A arranged in a line.
- An example of the point light source 2A is a light emitting diode.
- the light source unit 2 is not limited to a point light source, and may be a linear light source such as a fluorescent lamp (cold cathode ray lamp).
- the light source unit 2 may include a reflector that reflects light on the side opposite to the light guide plate 10 in order to efficiently make light incident on the light guide plate 10 side.
- the light guide plate 10 and the light source unit 2 shown in FIG. 6 constitute a surface light source device 4 that supplies planar light to the transmissive image display unit 3.
- the optical film may be regarded as a component of the surface light source device 4.
- the transmissive image display unit 3 is illuminated with planar light emitted from the light guide plate 10 and displays an image.
