Abstract
There is provided a planar lighting device which can emit light with high light use efficiency and small luminance unevenness. This object is achieved by having a light guide plate including two or more layers overlapping in a direction perpendicular to a light exit surface and having different particle concentrations of the scattering particles, thicknesses of the layers in the direction perpendicular to the light exit surface varying so that a combined particle concentration has, in a direction perpendicular to a light incidence surface, a first local maximum value closer to the light incidence surface and a second local maximum value located farther from the light incidence surface than the first local maximum value and being larger than the first local maximum value; and a micro-lens film having a plurality of spherical micro-ball lenses formed on a film.
