Abstract

A light emitter includes: a substrate; a driving section provided on the substrate; a light source that is provided on the substrate and is driven by the driving section; a cover section through which light emitted from the light source is transmitted and that is disposed in an optical axial direction of the light source; and a support section that is provided on a part of the substrate excluding a part between the driving section and the light source and supports the cover section.

Claims (14)

1 . A light emitter comprising:

a substrate with a first surface;

a driving circuit on the first surface;

a light source on the first surface and driven by the driving circuit, wherein the light source is configured to emit light in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the light source has a second surface facing the substrate and a third surface opposite the second surface;

a cover through which light emitted from the light source is transmitted and that is in an optical axial direction of the light source; and

a wire that connects the third surface and the first surface and that is on a part of the first surface excluding a part between the driving circuit and the light source.

2 . The light emitter according to claim 1 , wherein

the second surface contacts with the first surface.

3 . The light emitter according to claim 2 , wherein the second surface is a rear surface relative to the third surface.

4 . The light emitter according to claim 1 , wherein

the driving circuit is adjacent a first side of the light source, and

the part of the first surface excluding the part between the driving circuit and the light source is adjacent a second side of the light source.

5 . The light emitter according to claim 4 , wherein

the first side of the light source and the second side of the light source are adjacent sides.
