Shipping tray for optical elements, and optical element shipped therein

摘要

An objective of the present invention is to provide a shipping tray for optical elements that prevents toppling of optical elements during transportation and optimally maintains the optical characteristics of the optical elements. In a shipping tray for optical elements, single edges of a plurality of optical elements, each having two main surfaces formed as horizontal flat surfaces, are sequentially disposed upright in the lateral and longitudinal directions on an adhesive tape provided on a base surface of a main container; and the plurality of optical elements is covered with a cover in which is formed a plurality of concavities for individually accommodating the plurality of optical elements. Each concavity in the cover has an aperture portion provided in a plateau portion thereof, into which is inserted one of the optical elements upright with the free edge side protruding therefrom, and the shape of the aperture portion is oval.
