Provided are a light-emitting device and a method of manufacturing the same. The light-emitting device includes a flexible surface light source curved in a desired shape, a first fixture that includes first and second positioning ribs, and has a first curved surface between the first and second positioning ribs, and a second fixture having a second curved surface. The method includes mounting the surface light source in a flat state on the first positioning rib and the second positioning rib such that the front or rear surface and the first curved surface face to each other across a space, bringing the second fixture close to the first fixture and pushing the surface light source toward the first fixture to curve the surface light source, and fixing the first and second fixtures together with the curved surface light source held therebetween.

Light-emitting device with first and second fixtures configured to impart curvature to a flexible surface light source and method of manufacturing thereof

A light source unit for a lighting tool for a vehicle includes a circuit board on which a light emitting element is provided and a socket main body having a board attachment section to which the circuit board is attached and a connector section electrically connected to the circuit board via lead terminals, wherein the board attachment section has a fixing terminal configured to fix the circuit board, and the circuit board has first hole sections, into which the lead terminals are inserted, and a second hole section, into which the fixing terminal is inserted, and is attached to the board attachment section by the lead terminals being fixed to a periphery of the first hole sections and the fixing terminal being fixed to a periphery of the second hole section.

A light source unit for a vehicle headlight includes a circuit board on which four light emitting devices are disposed at each of four directions with respect to a center thereof, and a reflector provided on the circuit board so as to surround the four light emitting devices, wherein the circuit board includes four side areas in which the four light emitting devices are disposed, one center area disposed at a center of the four side areas and four corner areas disposed at corner sections next to the four side areas, and the reflector includes eight first reflective surfaces provided to divide spaces between each of the side areas and the corner areas, and four second reflective surfaces provided to divide sides of each of side areas opposite to the center area.

Light source unit for vehicle headlight and vehicle headlight

Provided is a vehicle lamp which enables work for connecting an organic EL panel and a power feeding section to be omitted. A vehicle lampincludes: a lamp unit; a mounting sectionto which the lamp unitis detachably mounted; and first fixing means (a first fixing section) which fixes the lamp unitdetachably mounted to the mounting section, and the mounting section, wherein the lamp unitincludes: an organic EL panelincluding a front surfacewith a light-emitting surface, and a rear surfaceon an opposite side to the front surface; a first electrodeelectrically connected to the organic EL panel; and a first bracketwhich holds the organic EL paneland the first electrode, and the mounting sectionincludes a second electrodeto which the first electrodeof the lamp unitfixed by the first fixing means (first fixing section) is to be electrically connected.

Vehicle lamp

A vehicular lamp including: a surface emitting light source including a front surface that includes a light-emitting surface, and a rear surface on the side opposite thereto; a transparent member including a light incident surface, a light exit surface from which light entering from the light incident surface exits, a light guide portion for guiding the light entering from the light incident surface to the light exit surface, and a holding portion for holding the surface emitting light source; and a light source that emits light which enters from the light incident surface, is guided to the light exit surface by the light guide portion, and exits from the light exit surface.
