Abstract: A lighting device 1 includes a planar light-emitting panel 4 and a translucent material 5 disposed on a light-emitting surface side of the planar light-emitting panel 4. The planar light-emitting panel 4 has a light-emitting region 4A and a non-light-emitting region 4B.

Abstract: A light source unit which constitutes the present illumination device includes a planar light-emitting panel and a translucent material. The planar light-emitting panel has a light-emitting region from which light is emitted and a non-light-emitting region from which light is not emitted. The translucent material has a light incident surface which faces the light-emitting region and an inclined surface which faces the non-light-emitting region. The light incident surface is smaller than the light-emitting region. According to this configuration, even when a misalignment occurs between the planar light-emitting panel and the translucent material, the non-light-emitting region does not face the light incident surface, so that a front direction of the non-light-emitting region does not become dark section, and thus an appearance of the illumination device is improved. Moreover, the planar light-emitting panel and the translucent material do not need to be accurately arranged, so that higher yield is achieved.

In this configuration, it is possible to prevent the light source unit from dropping from the base plate using the hook mechanism even when engagement between the installation mechanism and the installation mechanism counterpart is released.
