Abstract
A luminous flux control member that controls travelling direction of light emitted from a light source includes an incident area, an emission area, and a plurality of projecting sections. The plurality of projecting sections are constituted by an inner area, an intermediate area, and a peripheral area defined in the radial direction, and a first specific projecting section disposed in the inner area is configured such that a planar section that is used to measure the height of the first specific projecting section and is perpendicular to the optical axis is connected to an inner peripheral end and an outer peripheral end of a base end portion of the first specific projecting section. The projecting sections other than the first specific projecting section, in principle, come into contact internally or externally with another projecting section other than the first specific projecting section.
