    Abstract: A lightguide component for illumination devices having first and second exit surfaces at opposite sides, the lightguide component including: a light-receiving portion to receive light emitted from a light source; a lightguide layer having a first principal face at the first exit surface side and a second principal face at the second exit surface side; and a light distribution controlling structure having a plurality of internal spaces. Each of the plurality of internal spaces includes a first slope to direct a portion of light propagating in the lightguide layer toward the first exit surface via total internal reflection, and a second slope at an opposite side from the first slope, and the lightguide component is configured to emit first light having a first intensity distribution through the first exit surface and to emit second light having a second intensity distribution through the second exit surface.

    Abstract: Provided is a light extraction member which can be obtained at an adequate cost, while achieving desired light output characteristics without requiring complicated design and structure, and which is easily combined with another member, while exhibiting excellent productivity and excellent handling properties. A light extraction member according to the present embodiment includes: a light guide part which has a first main surface being on the light output side and a second main surface being on the reverse side of the first main surface; and a light output control layer which is a predetermined pattern formed on the first main surface. With respect to this light extraction member, the refractive index n1 of the light guide part and the refractive index n2 of the light output control layer satisfy relational expression n1>n2; and the refractive index n2 of the light output control layer is from 1.01 to 1.30.

    Abstract: There is provided an optical member capable of achieving a liquid crystal display apparatus that is thin and has extremely high brightness. An optical member of the present invention includes: a first member having a function of converting direction of light; and a second member laminated on the first member via an adhesion layer. The adhesion layer has void portions, and non-contact portions are defined at an interface between the adhesion layer and the first member and/or the second member, and the adhesion layer is brought into contact with each of the first member and the second member in four corner portions of the optical member in plan view.
