- a light blocking portion 19A is formed around the diffusion portion D5.
- the light shielding portion 19A has the same function as the light shielding portion 19 for suppressing stray light. Since the light shielding part 19A is integrated with the diffusion part D5, there is no need to align the diffusion part D5, the second light emitting element 12, etc., and the assembly is simplified.
- the light source device 10H includes a first lens 14E integrated with the diffuser D6.
- the diffusion part D6 is arranged on the light emitting surface of the second light emitting element 12, and the first light emitting element 11 directly faces the first lens 14E.
- a scattering section 20 is formed around the diffusion section D6 in the light source device 10H.
- the scattering portion 20 is formed by fine unevenness, a rough surface, texturing, or the like, and has the effect of scattering light with a large directivity angle incident from the second light emitting element 12 . That is, in the light source device 10G, the stray light is blocked by the light shielding portion 19A. It provides a uniform lighting pattern.
- the scattering section 20 has the effect of further enhancing the utilization efficiency of the luminous flux. Further, since the scattering section 20 is integrated with the diffusion section D6, alignment with the diffusion section D6, the second light emitting element 12, and the like is not required, and there is an effect that the assembly becomes easier.
- a mode in which a light shielding portion or a scattering portion is provided has been exemplified and described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and both may be used together. That is, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which a light blocking portion is provided on the first light emitting element 11 side and a scattering portion is provided on the second light emitting element 12 side.
- the means for suppressing stray light is not limited to the above.
- first light emitting elements 11 and two second light emitting elements 12 are described as an example, but the number of each light emitting element is not limited to this. It is sufficient if there are more than one.
