Abstract:
A rod-shaped light guide includes an end face to which light is incident, a bottom plane on which a scattering pattern to scatter light incident to the end face is formed, and a light emitting portion located to be opposite to the bottom plane and emitting light outside. The light emitting portion is formed as a first plane and a second plane connected to each other. The first plane is formed to be smaller than the second plane so that the cross section thereof perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is asymmetrical.
