A light guide formed of a light transmissive member extending in a direction of an optical axis of light incident on an interior of the light guide and configured to reflect the incident light in a specific direction, wherein the light guide comprises an incident surface provided at least one of both longitudinal ends of the light guide and allowing light emitted from a light source to be incident thereon; an exit surface forming one side surface of the light guide extending in the direction of the optical axis of the light incident through the incident surface, the exit surface allowing the incident light to exit the light guide therethrough; and a reflective surface located opposite to the exit surface to extend in the direction of the optical axis and including a plurality of rows arranged side by side in the direction of the optical axis, each row consisting of a plurality of light reflecting patterns formed to reflect the incident light toward the exit surface, wherein the light reflecting patterns have an oval hemispherical shape rising toward the exit surface and are formed to vary, depending upon location on the reflective surface in the direction of the optical axis, a ratio of a first diameter of the oval hemispherical shape to a height thereof when viewed laterally in the direction of the optical axis, the first diameter being perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis, characterized in that the light reflecting patterns arranged on the locations on the reflective surface are formed so that the ratio for the light reflecting patterns formed near the incident surface and near the longitudinal end of the optical guide opposite to the incident surface in the direction of the optical axis is smaller than the ratio for the light reflecting patterns formed on a middle region of the reflective surface in the direction of the optical axis, the light reflecting patterns are varied in the ratio of the first diameter to the height by having different orientation angles thereof with respect to the direction of the optical axis depending upon the location on the reflective surface in the direction of the optical axis, and the plurality of light reflecting patterns that are arranged on a same location in the direction of the optical axis and are aligned in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis are all formed so as to have same angles in the orientation angles and be in same shape, so that all of the ratios of the first diameter to the height for the plurality of light reflecting patterns aligned in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis are same. an incident surface provided at least one of both longitudinal ends of the light guide and allowing light emitted from a light source to be incident thereon;
