Beam-tilting light source enclosures comprising a flat optical surface, of which emitted light travels through, is oriented transverse to a substrate

An electronic device, comprising:

• a cover;
• and
• an optical module coupled to the cover, comprising:
• a substrate;
• a light emitter coupled to the substrate;
• and
• an enclosure, coupled to the substrate over the light emitter, comprising:
• a lens that shapes light emitted from the light emitter;
• a flat optical surface, through which the light from the light emitter travels, that is opposite the lens and positioned parallel to the cover and transverse to the substrate;
• a first flat handling surface adjacent the flat optical surface;
• and
• a second flat handling surface opposite the first flat handling surface;
• wherein:
• the first flat handling surface and the second flat handling surface are transverse to the flat optical surface;
• a first length of the first flat handling surface is greater than a second length of the second flat handling surface;
• the first flat handling surface extends between the substrate and the flat optical surface;
• and
• the second flat handling surface extends between the substrate and a flat surface that forms a corner with the flat optical surface.

An optical module, comprising:

• a substrate;
• a light emitter coupled to the substrate;
• an enclosure, coupled to the substrate over the light emitter, comprising a flat optical surface that is oriented transverse to the substrate;
• a first flat handling surface directly adjacent the flat optical surface;
• and
• a second flat handling surface opposite and parallel to the first flat handling surface;
• wherein:
• light emitted from the light emitter travels through the flat optical surface at a transverse angle with respect to the flat optical surface;
• the first flat handling surface and the second flat handling surface are transverse to the flat optical surface;
• and
• a first length of the first flat handling surface is greater than a second length of the second flat handling surface.
