Abstract

A planar light source device having a plurality of light emission devices and a light diffusion plate. For each of the light emission devices, the light beam from among light beams satisfying θ3/θ1<1 that has the smallest emission angle θ1xmin satisfies the relationship Ax<Px, where Ax is the distance from the center axis of the point on the light diffusion plate that is reached by the light beam emitted at the emission angle θ1xmin, which is greater than Px/2. The light beam from among light beams satisfying θ3/θ1<1 that has the smallest emission angle θ1ymin satisfies the relationship Ay<Py, where Ay is the distance from the center axis of the point on the light diffusion plate that is reached by the light beam emitted at the emission angle θ1ymin, which is greater than Py/2.
