Abstract

An electronic module including an electronic device including a pixel region, a transmissive member including a main surface facing the pixel region, and a frame member coupled to the electronic device and the transmissive member and deciding a positional relationship between the electronic device and the transmissive member is provided. The frame member includes a support portion arranged to surround the transmissive member and having a support surface that supports the transmissive member. The support surface includes a contact portion contacting the main surface, and a concave portion which is depressed more than the contact portion and in which a coupling member configured to couple the transmissive member and the frame member is arranged. The contact portion includes, between the concave portion and an inner edge of the support surface, a portion extending along an outer edge of the main surface.

Claims (27)

1 . An electronic module comprising:

an electronic device including a pixel region where pixels are arranged;

a transmissive member including a main surface facing the pixel region; and

a frame member coupled to each of the electronic device and the transmissive member, the frame member being configured to define a positional relationship between the electronic device and the transmissive member,

wherein the frame member comprises a support portion arranged to surround the transmissive member and having a support surface that supports the transmissive member,

wherein the support surface comprises a contact portion contacting the main surface and a concave portion that is depressed more than the contact portion and in which a coupling member configured to couple the transmissive member and the frame member is arranged,

wherein, as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the support surface, all of the concave portion is separated from an innermost edge of the support surface,

wherein the contact portion comprises, between the concave portion and the innermost edge of the support surface, a portion extending along an outer edge of the main surface, and

wherein a space surrounded by a wall surface of the concave portion, the coupling member, and the transmissive member is formed in the concave portion.

2 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein, as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the support surface, the contact portion is continuously arranged to surround the innermost edge of the support surface.

3 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling member contacts the main surface.

4 . The module according to claim 3 , wherein the coupling member further contacts a side surface, extending in a direction intersecting the main surface, of the transmissive member.

5 . The module according to claim 3 , wherein the coupling member does not directly contact a side surface, extending in a direction intersecting the main surface, of the transmissive member.

6 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling member contacts a side surface, extending in a direction intersecting the main surface, of the transmissive member.

7 . The module according to claim 6 , wherein the coupling member does not directly contact the main surface.

8 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein, as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the support surface, all of the concave portion is separated from a wall portion of the frame member that surrounds the transmissive member.

9 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein, as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the support surface, the concave portion contacts a wall portion of the frame member that is arranged to surround the transmissive member.

10 . The module according to claim 9 , wherein, as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the support surface, the concave portion contacts a wall portion, a portion of the wall portion contacting the concave portion is depressed toward an outer edge of the frame member more than a of the wall portion not directly contacting the concave portion.

11 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein, as viewed in the direction orthogonal to the support surface, the transmissive member covers part of the concave portion.

12 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of concave portions including the concave portion are arranged on the support surface.

13 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein the concave portion has a depth of not less than 50 μm from the contact portion.

14 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pixels includes a light emitting element.

15 . A display device comprising the electronic module according to claim 14 , and an active element connected to the electronic module.

16 . A photoelectric conversion device comprising an optical unit including a plurality of lenses, an image sensor configured to receive light having passed through the optical unit, and a display unit configured to display an image,

wherein the display unit displays an image captured by the image sensor, and includes the electronic module according to claim 14 .

17 . An electronic apparatus comprising a housing provided with a display unit, and a communication unit provided in the housing,

wherein the display unit includes the electronic module according to claim 14 .
