  • a solid-state light source is placed in a direction away from 11, convergent light can be obtained, and conversely, if a solid-state light source is placed in a direction closer to the lens 11 than the focal plane S, diffused light can be obtained.
  • a light source device capable of selecting parallel light, convergent light, and diffused light.
  • the insulating layers are the first insulating layer 20, the second insulating layer 22, and the third insulating layer 23, but the number of layers of the insulating layer is two. It may be 4 layers or more. In the case of four or more layers, the steps of forming the next insulating layer on the third insulating layer, forming through holes as necessary, and forming a circuit pattern on the mounting surface which is the surface of the insulating layer are performed a predetermined number of times. By repeating the process, a plurality of four or more insulating layers can be formed.
  • the circuit patterns 15a and 15b are electrically connected by the through holes 30, and the circuit patterns 15b and 15c are electrically connected by the through holes 31, but they are formed on the mounting surfaces of different insulating layers.
