Abstract:
1. An illuminating device comprising: a light guide member; a light-emitting element facing a side surface of the light guide member, and propagating light that is emitted by the light-emitting element and made incident to the side surface in the light guide member so as to emit plane-shaped light from a first main surface of the light guide member; an insulating reflective member located outside a second main surface of the light guide member facing the first main surface; and a metal reflective member laminated on the insulating reflective member on a side opposite to the light guide member; wherein the light-emitting element includes a wiring terminal at a position facing the side surface of the light guide member, the metal reflective member has conductivity, and a length of the metal reflective member in a normal line direction of the side surface of the light guide member facing the light-emitting element is shorter than that of the insulating reflective member.
