Abstract: A color display device has a single light guiding plate, and first, second and third light sources that respectively independently exhibit three primary colors. On a one end surface of the light guiding plate there are disposed the first and second light sources that exhibit two different ones of the three primary colors. On the other end surface side of the light guiding plate there is disposed the third light source that exhibits the remaining one primary color. Since the light guiding means is needed only one in number, the structure can be simplified and miniaturized. Also, on the one end surface of the light guiding means there are disposed, of the three light sources exhibiting the three primary colors, the first and second light sources that exhibit two different ones of the three primary colors. And, on the other end surface side of the light guiding means there is disposed the third light source that exhibits the remaining one primary color.

Abstract: A color light emitting device comprises a casing, six tubular light sources within the casing, and a reflecting surface. The casing has a bottom surface portion and a side surface portion extending from a peripheral edge of the bottom surface portion. The reflecting surface is provided on each of the bottom surface portion and the side surface portion. The six light sources are arrayed substantially in parallel with the bottom surface in the order of red, green, blue, red, green and blue. The outer-peripheral surface of the red color light source at one end faces the side surface portion. The reflecting surface has a colored portion that is in the proximity of the red color light source at one end. The colored portion is colored to have a blue color which is not a green color disposed near the red color light source at one end, of the green color and blue color.
