Abstract
A light moduleincludes a planar light emitting device, a wiring board, and an optical sheet. The wiring boardhas a holefor accommodating the planar light emitting device. The optical sheetholds the planar light emitting deviceand the wiring boardsuch that the planar light emitting deviceaccommodated in the holeof the wiring boardand the wiring boardare flush with each other on the light emitting surface side of the light module. The optical sheetholds the planar light emitting deviceand the wiring board, and prevents dust and moisture from entering the inside the light module. This eliminates the necessity for the light moduleto include a casing, packing, and the like. Therefore, the thickness of the module can be reduced.
