Abstract

A frame includes a resin frame which surrounds at least a part of the side faces of a light guide plate; a reflection diffusion material which is added in the resin frame and reflects and diffuses light; and an absorption material which is added in the resin frame and absorbs light. The reflectance of the resin frame is equal to or greater than 30% and equal to or smaller than 80%.

Claims (17)

1. A frame, comprising:

a resin frame which surrounds at least a part of the side faces of a light guide plate;

a reflection diffusion material which is added in the resin frame and reflects and diffuses light; and

an absorption material which is added in the resin frame and absorbs light,

wherein the reflectance of the resin frame is equal to or greater than 30% and equal to or smaller than 80%.

2. The frame according to claim 1 , wherein the reflectance of the resin frame is equal to or greater than 45% and equal to or smaller than 65%.

3. The frame according to claim 1 , wherein the reflection diffusion material is white pigment, and the absorption material is black pigment.
