LIGHT-EMITTING COMPONENT, PRINT HEAD, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light-emitting component and the like that include a light-emitting element array having a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged in rows, and efficiently extract light with the aid of lenses provided on light-emitting surfaces of the respective light-emitting elements.

SOLUTION: A light-emitting thyristor L1 is provided on a first island 301. The light-emitting thyristor L1 includes on a light-emitting surface 311 thereof a lens 92 comprising: a curved-surface part 92b that inclines so as to taper away from the light-emitting surface 311 and has a convex shape on the farther side from the light-emitting surface 311; and a plane part 92a connected with the curved-surface part 92b on the farther side from the light-emitting surface 311 of the curved-surface part 92b.
