Abstract

A light-emitting device includes: a package body; a lid body connected to the package body, wherein the package body and the lid body together form a sealed space; and a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in the sealed space. The lid body includes: a non-transmissive member including an outer frame, and one or more inner frames connected to the outer frame, wherein the outer frame and the one or more inner frames define a plurality of openings, a transmissive member integrally covering the plurality of openings and configured to allow light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements to be transmitted through the plurality of openings, and an adhesive member fixing the transmissive member to the non-transmissive member. The adhesive member is located on the outer frame and is not located on the one or more inner frames.

Claims (53)

1. A light-emitting device comprising:

a package body;

a lid body connected to the package body, wherein the package body and the lid body together form a sealed space; and

a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed in the sealed space,

wherein the lid body comprises:

a non-transmissive member including an outer frame, and one or more inner frames connected to the outer frame, wherein the outer frame and the one or more inner frames define a plurality of openings,

a transmissive member integrally covering the plurality of openings and configured to allow light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements to be transmitted through the plurality of openings, and

an adhesive member fixing the transmissive member to the non-transmissive member; and

wherein the adhesive member is located on the outer frame and is not located on the one or more inner frames.

2. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein:

each of the plurality of openings is a path of light emitted from two or more of the plurality of light-emitting elements.

3. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the adhesive member is connected to a lateral surface of the transmissive member.

4. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the adhesive member is made of a glass material.

5. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein:

each of the plurality of light-emitting elements is a semiconductor laser element.

6. The light-emitting device according to claim 5 , wherein:

the one or more inner frames extend from a first part of the outer frame to a second part of the outer frame along a first direction; and

a spot shape of light emitted from the plurality of light-emitting elements and irradiated onto the transmissive member is an ellipse having a minor axis oriented in the first direction.

7. The light-emitting device according to claim 6 , wherein:

each of the plurality of openings has a first end and a second end in the first direction; and

the light-emitting device has an anode terminal penetrating the package body in the first direction on a side of the first end and a cathode terminal penetrating the package body in the first direction on a side of the second end.

8. The light-emitting device according to claim 7 , wherein:

a number of pairs of the anode terminal and the cathode terminal is at least as high as a number of the plurality of openings; and

among the plurality of light-emitting elements, all light-emitting elements corresponding to one of the openings are electrically connected to one of the pairs of the anode terminal and the cathode terminal.

9. The light-emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the lid body comprises a support member supporting the non-transmissive member.

10. The light-emitting device according to claim 9 , wherein:

the support member comprises an opening; and

in a plan view, an outer edge of the opening of the support member is positioned inward of an outer edge of the non-transmissive member and outward of the openings of the non-transmissive member.

11. The light-emitting device according to claim 10 , wherein:

the lid body comprises a bonding member located between the outer edge of the opening of the support member and the outer edge of the non-transmissive member; and

an upper surface of the support member and a lower surface of the non-transmissive member are bonded together by the bonding member.

12. A lid body for use in a light-emitting device, the lid body comprising:

a non-transmissive member comprising an outer frame and one or more inner frames connected to the outer frame, wherein the outer frame and the one or more inner frames define a plurality of openings;

a transmissive member integrally covering the plurality of openings; and

an adhesive member fixing the transmissive member to the non-transmissive member,

wherein the adhesive member is located on the outer frame and is not located on the inner frames.

13. The lid body according to claim 12 , wherein:

the adhesive member is connected to a lateral surface of the transmissive member.

14. The lid body according to claim 12 , wherein:

the adhesive member is made of a glass material.

15. The lid body according to claim 12 , wherein:

the one or more inner frames extend from a first part of the outer frame to a second part of the outer frame along a first direction.

16. The lid body according to claim 12 , further comprising:

a support member supporting the non-transmissive member.

17. The lid body according to claim 16 , wherein:

the support member comprises an opening; and

in a plan view, an outer edge of the opening of the support member is positioned inward of an outer edge of the non-transmissive member and outward of the openings of the non-transmissive member.

18. The lid body according to claim 17 , wherein:

the lid body comprises a bonding member located between the outer edge of the opening of the support member and the outer edge of the non-transmissive member; and

an upper surface of the support member and a lower surface of the non-transmissive member are bonded together by the bonding member.
