Abstract
An illumination device includes a light source section with white LEDs on a side of a light guide plate. The white LED includes a first white LED and a second white LED, and they emit light of different chromaticities. In a chromaticity diagram, a white color area is divided into two subareas by a dividing line passing through a target chromaticity; light emitted by the first white LED falls within a first subarea, and light emitted by the second white LED falls within a second subarea. By individually controlling the light emission of the first white LED and the second white LED, it is possible to emanate a desired white light from the light guide plate.
