Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to realize a lighting device which can be switched between an overall lighting and a local lighting with a single lighting device. The concrete structure is a lighting device including: a first light guide having a first major surface and a first back surface, and a first hole; a second light guide, disposed on the first light guide, and having a second major surface, a second back surface, and a second hole; a reflection sheet disposed under the first back surface of the first light guide; a liquid crystal lens disposed above the second major surface of the second light guide, in which first LEDs and second LEDs are disposed circumferentially along a side wall of the first hole and a side wall of the second hole, respectively, and the first LEDs and the second LEDs are displaced each other in azimuth direction.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to realize a lighting device of small light distribution angle and less leakage light and further to realize a lighting device in which the light beam is easy to control. The following is an example of the structure to meet the above purpose. A lighting device including: a light guide; LEDs set at a side surface of the light guide; a prism sheet set on a major surface of the light guide, in which a first louver which extends in a first direction and, a second louver which extends in an orthogonal direction to the first direction are superposed on the prism sheet.
