Abstract

A front light (100) and a reflecting liquid crystal display of the present invention includes a dot light emitting source (101), and a light guiding body (104) having a light incident surface (104a) to which light from the dot light emitting source (101) is incident and a light outgoing surface (104b) from which the incident light outgoes, and light from the dot light emitting source (101) is in a linearly emitting state at least when incident onto the light incident surface (104a). By so doing, it is possible to provide bright, inexpensive, low-power consuming front light (100) and reflecting liquid crystal display which do not cause shadows or a moire fringe from the dot light emitting source (101), or a light-dark difference in luminance.
