Abstract
A light source module of the present invention is configured such that there is a through hole () in one longitudinal end portion of a light guide () that constitutes a light guide plate, into which through hole () a positioning pin () for positioning an LED light source () and the light guide () fits. Further, a guide () is provided to the other end portion of the light guide (), which guide () restrains the light guide () in a direction of a short side but does not restrain the light guide () in a direction of a long side. This makes it possible to provide a light source module that can reduce warping and cracking caused by expansion of a light guide, and an electronic apparatus including the light source module.
