A light source device according to the present disclosure includes a substrate having a first surface, a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the first surface side of the substrate, a frame body which is disposed so as to surround the plurality of light emitting elements, and which is bonded on the first surface side of the substrate, and a lid body which has a light transmissive member configured to transmit light emitted from the plurality of light emitting elements, which is disposed so as to be opposed to the first surface of the substrate, and which is bonded on an opposite side of the frame body to the substrate. The plurality of light emitting elements is housed in a housing space, the housing space being formed by the substrate, the frame body and the lid body. The frame body is formed of a material including a nonconductive material.

An image reading apparatus includes a reading module. The reading module includes a linear light source that extends in a direction intersecting a moving direction in which the transport unit relatively moves and irradiates a document with light via a transparent member, an image forming element that condenses the light reflected from the document, and a light receiving element that receives the light condensed by the image forming element. The linear light source is disposed such that a main optical axis of the linear light source is inclined at a first angle with respect to a normal direction of the transparent member in the moving direction, and the image forming element is inclined at a second angle in the same direction as the inclination of the main optical axis of the linear light source.
