According to the present invention, a light guiding laminate including a light guide plate with good visibility and an anisotropic optical film, and a planar light source device including the light guiding laminate and a light source are provided.
There are a light guiding laminate including a light guide plate which has: a light emission surface through which light incident from an end face is bent and emitted in a surface direction, and an angle at which emission intensity in the light emission surface is maximum, the angle being 20° to 60° with respect to a perpendicular direction to the light emission surface; and an anisotropic optical film which is laminated directly or via another layer and has diffusibility changing depending on an angle of incident light with respect to the light emission surface, in which an opposite surface which is a surface on an opposite side to the light emission surface of the light guide plate has a plurality of concave or convex structures having a size of 50 µm or less and a height or a depth of 50 µm or less, the anisotropic optical film has a matrix region and a structural region formed of a plurality of structures, and linear transmittance of the anisotropic optical film, which is an amount of transmitted light in a linear direction of light incident on the anisotropic optical film/an amount of incident light, is 30% or less at an angle at which the emission intensity of the light guide plate is maximum, and a planar light source device using the light guiding laminate.
