Abstract

Provided is a light-emitting device and an information processing device which include a light-emitting element mounted on a housing and an optical component detachable from the housing. The optical component is capable of condensing light emitted from the light-emitting element. This structure allows a user to select the emission of diffused light and condensed light by attaching or detaching the optical component.

Claims (26)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a light-emitting portion comprising:

a first substrate;

a pair of electrodes over the first substrate;

a second substrate over the pair of electrodes; and

a light-emitting layer between the pair of electrodes, the light-emitting layer comprising a light-emitting organic compound; and

an imaging unit configured to image an object,

wherein:

the light-emitting portion comprises an opening which passes the first substrate and the second substrate so that the light-emitting layer is located on both sides of the opening;

a side surface of the opening is covered by a sealant so that a side surface of the light-emitting layer is not exposed; and

the imaging unit is mounted in the opening.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a current supply configured to supply current; and

a switching circuit configured to be supplied with the current from the current supply and to supply a current pulse to the light-emitting portion.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising an optical sheet,

wherein the optical sheet is configured to condense light emitted from the light-emitting layer, and

wherein the optical sheet is attachable to and detachable from the electronic device.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the optical sheet comprises an opening which overlaps with the opening of the light-emitting portion.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , further comprising a sensor circuit which senses whether the optical sheet is attached to or detached from the electronic device.

6. The electronic device according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a housing equipped with the light-emitting portion and the imaging unit; and

an attaching member over which the optical sheet is mounted,

wherein an upper part of a side surface of the housing is covered by the attaching member and a lower part of the side surface is exposed when the optical sheet is attached to the electronic device.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging unit comprises a lens which protrudes from a surface of the light-emitting portion which surrounds the imaging unit.
