According to this configuration, light emitted from the surface emitting panel and guided by the optical member is reflected by the reflector and emitted in front of the non-light emitting region. By this way, a region in front of the non-light emitting region is difficult to be dark, thus allowing the light emission area to be increased. Further, where a number of light emitting modules are arranged in a matrix as a lighting device, a uniform illumination surface is provided. | 01-22-2015 |
