Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the release of light in all directions by scattering many particles for light scattering having 0.1 to 100mum diameter into one end of a bar-shaped transparent material and covering the part exclusive of the part where the particles are scattered with a reflecting film. CONSTITUTION:The many particles 2 for light scattering having a good reflectivity are scattered in the one end of the transparent material 1 made of a material, such as quartz or glass. The particles 2 for light scattering having 0.1 to 100mum diameter are used. The part of the transparent material 1 where the particles 2 for light scattering are not scattered is covered with the reflecting film 4 exclusive of the one part on which the light from a light source 3 is made incident. This reflecting film 4 is used to prevent the release of the incident light on the transparent material 1 to the outside of the transparent material during transmission. The light is released in all direction in this way.
