Abstract

The lighting device includes a light source, a light transmissive plate opposed to the light source, a light reflecting portion disposed on the light transmissive plate and providing at least transmitted light with a specific tint, and a coloring portion disposed on the light source and/or the light transmissive plate. The light transmissive plate includes a light source overlapping region and a light source peripheral region. The light reflecting portion is disposed with a higher distribution density in the light source overlapping region than in the light source peripheral region. The coloring portion colors light travelling from the light source toward the light source overlapping region with a tint having a complementary relationship with the specific tint, or colors light travelling from the light source toward the light source peripheral region with a tint having a corresponding or similar color relationship with the specific tint.
