Abstract:
The present invention provides a planar light source and an illumination apparatus which have higher design property than that of conventional ones. The planar light source includes: a planar light emitting panel which has a light emitting surface; and a decorative member which covers the light emitting surface of the planar light emitting panel. A light emitting region which emits light when the planar light source is turned on and a non-light-emitting frame region which surrounds the light emitting region are provided on the light emitting surface. The decorative member has a pattern forming section. The pattern forming section includes a frame shielding section which covers entirety of the frame region in the front view, and a light-emission shielding section which extends from the frame shielding section so as to divide the light emitting region into a plurality of regions.

Claim (Index 3):
The planar light source according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the decorative member comprises a main body plate section having the pattern forming section, and a side-surface plate section bent from an end section of the main body plate section, wherein the planar light emitting panel comprises: a planar light emitting tile; and a frame member protecting the planar light emitting tile, wherein the frame member is made of resin and has elasticity, and wherein part of the frame member is sandwiched by an end surface of the planar light emitting tile and the side-surface plate section.
