An optical deflector element has a light incoming surface (41) in which
light enters and a light outgoing surface (42) located opposite the light
incoming surface and from which light exits. In the light incoming
surface (41) are arranged elongated prisms (41A) in parallel to each
other. Each of the elongated prisms (41A) is formed by a top end flat
face (46) located at the top end of the elongated prism and having an
inclination angle (b) of 1 to 50 degrees, a first prism face (44) located
at one side of the flat face, and a second prism face (45) at the other
side. A light source device is formed by combining the optical deflector
element, light guide and a primary light source. The light guide has a
light incident face in which light emitted from the primary light source
enters, and a light emitting face from which guided light exits. The
combination above provides a light source device that does not have
degradation in luminance and has excellent quality free from visual
defects including a black stripe and a Moire pattern.
