The light guide plates overlap each other with a same light output direction; each of the light guide plates includes a plurality of stripe-shaped projections aligned on a light output face and a light output pattern. Each of the light sources emits light incident into any one of the light guide plates and propagating in an extending direction of the stripe-shaped projections. The light-source substrate includes a plurality of interconnections, a turning-on signal is selectively supplied via the interconnections to at least one of light source groups, and each of the light source groups includes at least one of the light sources.
