Abstract
Cone-shaped projections are provided outside a lens forming area in the middle on one surface of a resin lens plate and depressions to be fitted to these projections are formed on the other surface. A resin lens array is formed by stacking the resin lens plates one over another through fitting these projections and depressions to each other. A fitting depression having a flat supporting seat face at a position on an optical path of light emitted by light-emitting elements of a light-emitting element array chip is formed in the lens holder, and the resin lens array is placed in the fitting depression. A transparent cover composed of a flat and smooth plate is arranged over the output surface of the resin lens array and a metal retainer is attached to the transparent cover so that a pressing pressure is always applied to the resin lens array.
