ABSTRACT:
A light source device has a transparent plate having a smoothened front surface and a roughened rear surface. A light source is disposed adjacent to an end face of the transparent plate. The roughened rear surface has a portion which is inclined and curved and disposed adjacent to the end of the transparent plate remote from the light source. A reflecting plate is disposed adjacent to and extends along the roughened rear surface of the transparent plate.

The inclined and curved surface portion is represented by the following equation,
