Patent ID: 7422353

Claim:
A light-emitting device comprising: an optical member which includes a first emergence surface and a plurality of optical portions, each of the optical portions including a first surface which directs light incident thereon from a first light source that is disposed on a first side of a direction in which the plurality of optical portions are arranged to the first emergence surfaces, and the plurality of first surfaces being inclined on the same side with respect to the first emergence surface; and a light guiding member which is disposed to extend along the plurality of optical portions, includes a second emergence surface, and directs light from a second light source that is disposed on the first side to the plurality of optical portions, the light from the second light source entering the plurality of optical portions through the second emergence surface; the first emergence surface of the optical member and the second emergence surface of the light guiding member being formed in a ring shape wherein each of the optical portions includes a second surface formed between the first surfaces adjacent to each other, the first surface reflects light incident thereon through the second surface from the light guiding member and directs the reflected light to the first emergence surface, the second emergence surface of the light guiding member is overlapped with the plurality of optical portions of the optical member in a direction in which the light from the first and second light source emerges from the first emergence of the optical member, and the optical member and the light guiding member are configured such that the light from the first light source enters the optical member without passing through the light guiding member and the light from the second light source enters the light guiding member without passing through the optical member.
