Abstract
A light emitting device includes a light-guide member that extends in one direction, a light emitting element that radiates light onto an end surface of the light-guide member, a reflective member that extends in the one direction and reflects, while holding the light-guide member, light that is emitted from a surface of the light-guide member, and a housing that accommodates the reflective member and includes a holding unit, the holding unit being configured to hold the reflective member at an accommodating position of the reflective member and configured to allow the reflective member to be released from a state of being held when the reflective member is bent in a crossing direction that crosses the one direction.
