    摘要: A lighting device includes: a rod-shaped light guide (2) that extends in a longitudinal direction, guides light entering from an end surface, and emits linear light from a lateral surface; a light guide holder (3) having a hole into which the end surface of the light guide (2) is inserted, and an opening optically communicating with the hole, the opening being formed in a first flat surface that is flat and opposite to the surface into which the end surface of the light guide (2) is inserted; a housing (4) to house the light guide (2) and the light guide holder (3) and support the light guide holder (3) with the end surface of the light guide (2) exposed; a light source base plate (5) on which a light source element (5a) that emits light to the end surface of the light guide (2) is formed and a base plate protection layer (6) having a second flat surface that covers the light source base plate (5) and is flat, the base plate protection layer (6) being formed on a region of the light source base plate (5) other than at least a region on which the light source element is formed. At least one of the light source base plate (5) or the second flat surface of the base plate protection layer (6) is pressed against the housing (4) or the first flat surface at a position at which the light emitted by the light source element (5a) enters the end surface of the light guide (2) exposed from the opening.
