Abstract
A light emitting device includes a light source having a light emitting surface, and a light shielding member located above the light source and having an opening. The light shielding member is movable between (i) a first position in which the opening overlaps the light emitting surface of the light source in a top view, and (ii) a second position, different from the first position, in which the opening overlaps the light emitting surface of the light source in the top view. Light emission of the light source is controllable under a first condition when the light shielding member is in the first position, and is controllable under a second condition when the light shielding member is in the second position.

A light emitting device comprising:
- a light source having a light emitting surface;
- and
- a light shielding member located above the light source and having an opening, wherein:
- the light shielding member is movable between (i) a first position in which the opening overlaps the light emitting surface of the light source in a top view, and (ii) a second position, different from the first position, in which the opening overlaps the light emitting surface of the light source in the top view, and
- light emission of the light source is controllable under a first condition when the light shielding member is in the first position, and is controllable under a second condition when the light shielding member is in the second position.
