Abstract

An optical member includes a light guide body that includes an incident surface on which a light from a blind area is incident, multiple reflecting surfaces configured to reflect the light from the incident surface, a smooth surface configured to reflect the light reflected by the reflecting surfaces, and multiple prisms protruding from the reflecting surfaces in a normal direction of the reflecting surfaces and configured to emit the light from the incident surface and the light reflected by the smooth surface to an outside of the light guide body. The prisms are arranged at intervals in a first direction intersecting the normal direction and are arranged at intervals in a second direction intersecting the normal direction and the second direction. Each of the reflecting surfaces is positioned between the adjacent prisms such that reflecting surfaces are arranged at intervals in the first direction and the second direction.
