Abstract
The present invention provides an optical device including: a light source; an optical element to be irradiated with light emitted from the light source; and a supporting member for supporting the optical element through a cured product of an adhesive. This cured product of the adhesive contains a thermoplastic elastic material. The present invention also provides an optical device including: a light source; an optical element to be irradiated with light emitted from the light source; and a supporting member for supporting the optical element through a cured product of an adhesive. This cured product of the adhesive has a Young's modulus of at least 1.0E+5 Pa but less than 1.0E+7 Pa in an exponential expression, in a temperature range that the cured product of the adhesive reaches due to heat generation during operation.
