Abstract
A daylighting device of the present invention is provided with a planar optical memberand a support member. The planar optical memberis provided with a planar structure body which has a plurality of linear bodiesformed of optically transparent materials which are arrayed substantially in parallel and a plurality of binding members which are arranged in a direction which intersects with the plurality of the linear bodiesand which bind the plurality of the linear bodiesin a state of being arrayed substantially in parallel. The linear bodieshave reflective surfaces which reflect light which is incident to the linear bodyalong a direction which intersects with a length direction of the linear bodyand refractive surfaces which refract the light. In at least a part of a planar structure body, the orientations of reflective surfaces of at least some of the linear bodies out of the plurality of linear bodiessubstantially match and the orientations of the refractive surfaces of at least some of the linear bodies substantially match.
