Surface light emitting device and liquid crystal display apparatus

Abstract

Provided are a surface light emitting device and a liquid crystal display apparatus equipped with the surface light emitting device. The surface light emitting device includes: a light guide plate including a side surface where light enters, a principal surface where the light goes out and a rear surface opposite to the principal surface; and a reflection sheet arranged on the rear surface of the light guide plate; a substrate arranged with facing the side surface of the light guide plate. The surface light emitting device further includes: plural light emitting bodies arranged along a longitudinal direction of the substrate and mounted on a surface of the substrate; a frame and a rear frame holding the substrate, the light guide plate and the reflection sheet; and one or more reflecting bodies arranged around a part of the light emitting bodies and extending along a longitudinal side of the substrate.
