A surface light source module includes a substrate, a plurality of light-emitting elements mounted on the substrate, a first optical layer disposed on the light-emitting elements to cover the light-emitting elements and configured to disperse light emitted from the light-emitting elements, and a second optical layer disposed on the first optical layer and configured to absorb the light emitted from the light-emitting elements and emit light of a different wavelength band from a wavelength of the absorbed light, wherein a distance from an upper surface of the first optical layer to an upper surface of the second optical layer has a value less than a distance from an upper surface of the substrate to the upper surface of the first optical layer.
