Claim Text:
1. An illumination device, comprising: an optical fiber which guides emission light emitted from a light source; a light guide member provided so as to face an emitting end part, where the emission light is emitted, of the optical fiber, the light guide member having a receiving end part where the emission light emitted from the emitting end part of the optical fiber is received; and a light conversion section provided so as to face an emitting end part, where the emission light is emitted, of the light guide member, the light conversion section converting the emission light emitted from the emitting end part of the light guide member to illumination light, the light guide member guiding the emission light by means of total reflection occurring due to a difference in refractive index between (i) a material which constitutes the light guide member and (ii) surrounding environment.
