It is an object to provide a technique capable of enhancing evenness of a planar light. A planar light source device includes a light source, a holding substrate, a light distribution control element having a light incident surface and a light outputting surface, a reflection part reflecting the light which has been reflected in an inner side of the light distribution control element toward the side of the display surface, and a case which houses the light source, the holding substrate, the light distribution control element, and the reflection part. A part opposite to the side of the display surface, in relation to at least the light distribution control element in a region between the light distribution control element and an inner wall of the case, is covered by the reflection part.

Planar light source device and liquid crystal display device

A surface light source device includes: a plurality of LEDs emitting a light; a substrate having the plurality of LEDs mounted thereon; a light distribution control element arranged on the substrate, and distributing the light emitted from the plurality of LEDs; a reflection sheet reflecting a part of the light distributed by the light distribution control element to a display surface side of the surface light source device; a housing accommodating the plurality of LEDs, the substrate, the light distribution control element, and the reflection sheet; and a retaining member retaining the light distribution control element and the substrate under a state in which the retaining member is in contact with a surface of the light distribution control element that is opposite to a surface of the light distribution control element in contact with the substrate.
