An image reading device includes light-emitting diode chips (11A-11C) and
a light guide (3) having a main region (3A) and a subsidiary region (3B).
The subsidiary region (3B) includes a light incident surface (31) located
above the light source (11A-11C) and an inclined surface (32). The light
source (11A-11C) is offset in a direction receding from the main region
(3A) with respect to the center (C2) as viewed in the primary scanning
direction of the light incident surface (31).
