Abstract
An optical device includes a connection pad, which is connected to a conductor pattern on the circuit substrate, at one edge. The connection pad includes one ground pad, and two or more signal pads between which the ground pad is interposed from its both sides. The ground pad includes a concave portion including an opening at the edge. The circuit substrate is provided with a metal columnar member in the conductor pattern to which the ground pad is connected. The conductor pattern and the connection pad are fixed to each other with solder in a state in which the columnar member is fitted into the concave portion. Solder, which gradually rises from the ground pattern to a lateral surface of the columnar member, is formed between the columnar member and the ground pattern that is formed in the flexible printed circuit.
