Abstract
Disclosed is a light source device including: a light emitter; an electrode including a support that supports the light emitter and a terminal that extends from the support in an opposite direction of a light emitting direction of the light emitter; a second restrictor that restricts a movement of the electrode in a second direction perpendicular to the light emitting direction; and a third restrictor that restricts a movement of the electrode in a third direction perpendicular to both of the light emitting direction and the second direction.
