The light sources are on the substrate to emit light at an orientation angle from a first direction. The light guide panels include a light incident part having a light incident surface to which light is incident in the first direction from the light sources, and a light emitting part that emits the incident light in a second direction crossing the first direction and has a side connected to the light incident part. The reflective member includes a reflective region overlapping the light guide panel and an extension region that does not overlap the light guide panel. The optical sheet is above the light guide panel.
