Abstract
A surface-emitting light-emitting device, which can control optical characteristics of emitting light and the manufacturing method thereof, an optical module which includes the surface-emitting light-emitting device, and a light-transmission device are provided. A surface-emitting light-emitting device includes an emitting surface for light emission and a bank that is formed so as to surround the emitting surface. An upper edged portion of the bank is located at a position higher than the emitting surface.
Claims24
A surface-emitting light-emitting device which emits light in a direction perpendicular to a base, the surface-emitting light-emitting device comprising:
- an emitting surface;
- and
- a bank which is formed so as to surround the emitting surface,
- wherein an upper edged portion of the bank is located at a position higher than the emitting surface.
A method of manufacturing a surface-emitting light-emitting device which emits light in a direction perpendicular to a base, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) forming a portion which includes a light-emitting surface and works as a light-emitting element;
- and
- (b) forming a bank to surround the emitting surface and forming an upper surface of the bank to be higher than the emitting surface.
