Abstract
Light-emitting elements are divided into chromaticity groups on the basis of their chromaticity. In a planar light source, light-emitting elements selected from two of the chromaticity groups are alternately provided in a longitudinal direction and in a transverse direction, respectively. The two chromaticity groups are substantially equally away from a target chromaticity in directions reverse to each other. Further, pairs of two of the light-emitting elements belonging to the two chromaticity groups which are separated from each other, are provided so that distances dat which two of the light-emitting elements in each of the pairs are provided are less than distances dat which the pairs are provided.
